US President Donald Trump started a trade wartrade war with China again in 2025, after doing so in his first presidency in 2018. This time the trade conflict has included all trading partners of the US, i.e. the world. It is a vivid example of misunderstanding China leading to misguided policies creating geopolitical risks and global economic disruptions. This book is about analysing China’s emergence on the global stage and understanding its superpowersuperpower aspiration (clash with the US) by assessing it from different, hidden, aspects and questioning conventional wisdom, which often are just conventional views without much wisdom (in my view), through rigorous research thoughts backed by data and evidence.
