Brief:- Martin Jacques’ interest in East Asia began in 1993. In 1977, he was editor of Marxism Today. In 1991 he closed Marxism Today. In 1993 he co-founded Demos, a think-tank. In 1994 was deputy editor of Independent, a post he held until 1996. He is now a visiting senior fellow at the London School of Economics, IDEAS, a centre for the study of international affairs, diplomacy and grand strategy, and a visiting research fellow at the LSE’s Asia Research Centre. He is a columnist for the Guardian and the New Statesman.
At TedTalks November 2010 he describes his book "When China Rules The World" in which he convinces his audience that the degree to which China is misread is the degree to which they would rise. He shows evidence that China may have invented golf in the 14th century.
