This book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding how the United States can renew its advantages in its competition with China.Ambassador Susan E. Rice, former U.S. National Security Advisor

Ryan Hass has provided an indispensable and timely contribution to understanding our critical path forward with China.Jon M. Huntsman, former U.S. Ambassador to China and Russia

Ryan Hass charts a path forward in Americas relationship and rivalry with China, a path rooted in the relative advantages America already possesses. Hass argues that while competition will remain the defining trait of the relationship, both countries will continue to be impactedfor good or illby their capacity to coordinate on common challenges that neither can solve on its own, such as pandemic disease, global economic development, climate change, and nuclear nonproliferation. Hass makes the case that the United States will have greater success in outpacing China economically and outshining it in questions of governance if it focuses more on improving its condition at home than on trying to impede Chinese initiatives. He argues that the task at hand is not to stand in Chinas way and, in the process, turn a rising power into an enemy but to renew Americas advantages in its competition with China. See more
