Chapter three: Who Will Dominate the 21st Century: America or China?
Hoover senior fellow Elizabeth Economy explains the difficulty in preventing China from stealing US technology and patents. Economy describes the lack of Chinese social movements, and how there used to be many before Xi Jinping’s crackdown on the internet. Economy believes American values are better than China’s for the majority of the people in the world, which is why she hopes America will retain the liberal democracy order it has created.
