"Clyde Prestowitz presents the most comprehensive and practical plan yet to meet the Chinese Communist Party's grave challenge to the United States." - Dennis Blair, former Director of National Intelligence. "How did America and other advanced democracies find themselves increasingly beholden to the Chinese Communist Party? Seasoned Asia hand Clyde Prestowitz's wide-ranging expose unpacks the long road to this current disturbing reality, while offering a sober and sensible blueprint for pushing back against the PRC's malign activities in the United States and around the world." - David Shambaugh, author. "This book lucidly describes the economic and diplomatic misconceptions that have shaped our China policy. It then lays out many ways that we can act to prevent Chinese hegemony." - Ralph Gomory, President Emeritus, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, former Director of Research, IBM. "Many books have described what China is, where it is going and where it comes from. What makes this book unique is Prestowitz's detailed prescription for how the United States should change to face China. Every political, academic and business leader who cares about democracy and the free world should read this book and follow its advice." - Alberto Forchielli, Founding Managing Partner, Mandarin Capital Partners. "When China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, most experts expected the WTO rules and procedures to liberalize China and make it "a responsible stakeholder in the liberal world order." But the experts made the wrong bet. China today is liberalizing neither economically nor politically but, if anything, becoming more authoritarian and mercantilist. In this book, notable free of partisan posturing and inflammatory rhetoric, renowned globalization and Asia expert Clyde Perstowitz describes the key challenges posed by China and the strategies America and the free world must adopt to meet them. He argues that these must be more sophisticated and more comprehensive than a narrowly targeted trade war. Rather, he urges strategies that the United states and its allies can use unilaterally without contravening international or domestic law." - from the inner front jacket flap.
