About this listen
The defining geopolitical contest of the 21st century is between China and the US. But is it avoidable? And if it happens, is the outcome already inevitable?
China and America are world powers without serious rivals. They eye each other warily across the Pacific; they communicate poorly; there seems little natural empathy. A massive geopolitical contest has begun.
America prizes freedom; China values freedom from chaos. America values strategic decisiveness; China values patience.America is becoming society of lasting inequality; China a meritocracy. America has abandoned multilateralism; China welcomes it.
Kishore Mahbubani, a diplomat and scholar with unrivalled access to policymakers in Beijing and Washington, has written the definitive guide to the deep fault lines in the relationship, a clear-eyed assessment of the risk of any confrontation, and a bracingly honest appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses, and superpower eccentricities, of the US and China.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The facts from past and current is very convincing. The language in the context throughout the book is rich and elegant.
I like the deep knowledge the author possessed on China, United States, South East Asia and rest of the world. I like the author speaks from his heart and soul to advise the rulers of dominate countries in the world to do any thing to avoid war and to bring peace and prosperity to their people.

Excellent book
Seldom does an author come along with the clarity of thought and eloquence of delivery that Mr. Mahbubani does. America needs to hear more from those like him rather than the current gang of pseudo-intellectuals from prominent publications like the NY Times and The Atlantic.

Very informative book
Really enjoyed Kishore’s view of the current geopolitical landscape. He is neither American nor Chinese so I find his view very balanced and impartial.

Overall, well written
This was a good read. It is a Fair critique of American foreign and domestic policies and the mistakes that have been made which has given rise to China's power. I do not fear a world in which China is wealthy and power. I only fear a world in which China's rise is seen a threat to America, and that America feels that it must use force to protect itself. This book demonstrates this as a future possibility and it will result in the destruction of mankind.

A good review of China and the US
a good book, a little biased based on the background of the author. Found it in my humble opinion about 60% anecdotal and some qualitative, with 40% quantitative support. A good informative view on a different perspective of current affairs.

Shallow, Asian Perspective
Not for a knowledgeable audience, but an American contrarian. Useful to understand a possibility of a faultless China.
