Thirty years ago, most Chinese didn’t have basic home appliances. How did this poor communist country become the world’s #1 manufacturer, largest trading nation, and the largest market for e-commerce, electric cars, and mobile payments? China now publishes more scientific papers and international patents than anyone else. It leads in critical technologies like 5G, AI, drones, and blockchain.
China eradicated extreme poverty and created the world’s largest middle class. There are more Chinese than Americans in the Top 10% of the world’s richest individuals. China has even surpassed the U.S. in the Fortune Global 500 firms list.
America missed the rise of China and still doesn’t understand China.
Through the lenses of geopolitics, economics, trade, history, and culture, this book explains the rise of China and how the U.S. must reinvent its strategies for a multipolar world. While America’s primacy is on a relative decline, China is not going to rule the world. Eschewing Cold War ideology, America must compete and cooperate with China. And we can even learn a few things from China.
