The china race: global competition for alternative world orders - fei-ling wang

Following its two prequels, The China Order (2017) and The China Record (2023), this book analyzes the China Race, the global competition for power and leadership between the US-led West and the Peoples Republic of China.

Considering the organizational options and optimality with respect to human civilization, Fei-Ling Wang discusses two alternative world orders: the Westphalian System of international relations and a centralized world political unification.

Both are feasible and existed before, but with drastically different desirability.

The rising power of the PRC state has consistently and methodically sought to recenter and reorganize the world to safeguard and promote its autocracy and, ultimately, build a world empire.

Examining the nature, aims, means, accomplishments, pitfalls and failures of Beijings foreign policy and the state of and developments in Sinology and the Wests China policy, Wang focuses on the existential PRC-USA rivalry and proposes a holistic strategic framework, discussing three ranked objectives, for the West and the world, including the Chinese people, to manage, benefit from, and prevail in the China Race.
