About this ebook
From a former president of the United Nations Security Council, an authoritative look at the US, China, and the defining geopolitical contest of the twenty-first century
“An excellent and important book on the biggest question in international affairs: how will the relationship between the US and China evolve?” —Martin Wolf, chief economics commentator, Financial Times
China and the United States are world powers without serious rivals. They eye each other warily across the Pacific. They vie for the allegiances of other major nations and an ever-larger share of the global GDP. They tout opposing values and ideologies. A massive geopolitical contest is underway.
Drawing on his decades of experience in diplomacy and geopolitical strategy, Kishore Mahbubani offers a bracingly honest appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of these ambitious and eccentric superpowers—and a clear-eyed assessment of their best path forward. Has China Won? is the definitive guide to the deep fault lines between the two countries.

I've read up to Chapter 6 (plus the Conclusion) and i find the book riveting ...the questions raised thought-provoking. As mentioned by the author ... the world would be a better place if China and US work together for the common good of mankind rather than self-seeking

Not many books these days on America or China or on both are as good, impartial, well-researched, intellectually honest & unbiased as this one ! Recommended to all my friends, students, and anyone who so sorely missed a truly fair view of China during these days of american hegemonic arrogance! A must read book for the year 2020 and many more years to come!
