With a focus on the economic battlefront and in-depth analysis of the
diplomatic, military, and ideological arenas, the world's foremost
expert on US-China global competition offers a rousing, strategic call
to action and playbook-harvesting all of our nation's ingenuity,
confidence, and will power-to outcompete the long-term strategies of
China and its Communist Party.
In The Decisive Decade,
Dr. Jonathan D.T. Ward-China scholar and founder of the Atlas
Organization, a consultancy focused on US-China global
competition-offers a comprehensive framework for how the United States
can, and must, defeat China on the world stage economically,
diplomatically, militarily, and ideologically. International security
and American supremacy are at stake-and now is the time for the US to
take action.
China's global power and influence grows every day.
Working from a deep sense of national identity, the Chinese Communist
Party is leading its country toward what it deems "the great
rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation," and executing a long-term Grand
Strategy to topple over its chief adversary, the United States. As China
becomes increasingly repressive domestically and aggressive overseas,
it threatens to upend America's global dominance at every turn.
Ward
provides novel and practical strategies that our government, as well as
our businesses and our citizens, can utilize to undermine our
adversary. Exhaustive campaigns in the economic, diplomatic, military,
and ideological arenas, he argues, must be taken to achieve victory.
With
expert analysis of the history of US-China relations, as well as
insight into how the Russia-Ukrainian war can inform our strategic
thinking, The Decisive Decade presents a unique toolkit for our
triumph over China. We can succeed, but it won't be easy; it will take
all of our nation's ingenuity, confidence, and willpower to win.
