Description

The twenty-first century's great geopolitical contest has begun, with a major trade war unfolding and American and Chinese naval vessels having close encounters in the South China Sea. Kishore Mahbubani evaluates the two sides, offering insights into how China has been thinking on a global scale, launching ambitious initiatives under pragmatic leaders. Chinese society has regained its cultural confidence, with innovation and dynamism infusing the nation. In contrast, America's economic model has been badly damaged by the 2008 financial crisis, leaving it as an awkward interloper. The global rise of China presents a political challenge that the US has never faced before, requiring policymakers to launch a major strategic reboot. With his trademark candor, Mahbubani delivers impartial and incisive insights on the strategic stakes and mistakes in this new great game, shedding light on the implications for American policymakers and the nation's social foundations and global standing.
