Description

The West's strategy of engagement with China has failed. Over three decades of trade and investment have left China far richer and stronger than it would otherwise have been, yet its rulers remain resolute in their grip on power. China today is more repressive at home, more aggressive abroad, and more intent on establishing itself as the world's preponderant power than ever since Chairman Mao's death. The democracies underestimated the resilience and ruthlessness of the Chinese Communist Party, failing to take seriously its determination to crush opposition and fulfill its ambitions. In this timely study, Aaron Friedberg identifies the assumptions underpinning engagement, describes China's counterstrategy, and explains what the democracies must do now to preserve their prosperity, protect their security, and defend their values.
