Sobre IBD

By sea and on the airwaves by dollar and yuan a contest has begun that will shape the next century. China’s rise has now entered a critical new phase as it seeks to translate its considerable economic heft into a larger role on the world stage challenging American supremacy. Yet he also shows why China may struggle to unseat the West - its ambitious designs are provoking anxiety especially in Asia while America’s global alliances have deep roots. If Washington can adjust to a world in which it is not the sole dominant power it may be able to retain its ability to set the global agenda.
