Challenging China

[Kaplan] combines first-hand experience with detailed research into the aims of China's expansionism and offers a road map for the United States to respond and prosper. -Nor Coquillard, Executive Director, Washington State China Relations Council In Challenging China, Sam Kaplan provides a richly detailed, compelling essay on [Chinese leadership's] growing penchant toward authoritarianism, its impact on the people of China and its relations with the U.S. This book is a must-read, whether your focus is on China's military, its economy, Taiwan, Tibet, and/or its relationship with the U.S. -Joe Borich, Former Consul General of U.S. Consulate in Shanghai, Former President of Washington State China Relations Council It's never been more difficult-or more necessary-for the world to find the right balance in how to approach China. While there are many areas where the west must rightfully challenge China, there are also many others that require collaboration if we are to avoid out right hot conflict. Sam has done a good job threading the needle between the challenges and opportunities, and in so doing, provides readers with a useful set of insights that can and should shape policy and political decisions. -Benjamin Shobert, Author Blaming China: It Might Feel Good But It Won't Fix America's Economy Sam's book is a timely reminder that our country's greatest tools to meet any challenge from China include what we do to invest in our own competitive advantage, the promotion of human rights and working with other countries. Easy to read for folks who want an introduction to the current state of U.S.-China relations with plenty of heft for the serious China watcher. -Rick Larsen, Member of Congress
