Has China Won?

The Chinese Challenge to American Primacy
Book • 2020
In 'Has China Won?: The Chinese Challenge to American Primacy,' Kishore Mahbubani provides a clear-eyed assessment of the U.S.

-China relationship, highlighting the significant differences in their values, governance structures, and approaches to global affairs.

Mahbubani argues that the rise of China does not necessarily signify a loss for the West, but rather a complex geopolitical dynamic where both sides must understand and respect their deep cultural and historical differences.

The book examines key areas such as China's economy, political system, culture, and global influence, and it challenges the prevailing zero-sum mentality in discussions about China's rise.

Mahbubani emphasizes the need for both countries to communicate effectively and cooperate on common interests to avoid catastrophic conflicts and ensure a better future for humanity.
