American society is angrier, more fragmented, and more polarized
than at any time since the Civil War. We harbor deep insecurities
about our economic future, our place in the world, our response to
terrorism, and our deeply dysfunctional government. Over the next
several years, Benjamin Shobert says, these four insecurities will
be perverted and projected onto China in an attempt to shift blame
for errors entirely of our own making. These misdirections will be
satisfying in the short term but will eventually destabilize the
global world that businesses, consumers, and governments have taken
for granted for the last forty years and will usher in an age of
geopolitical uncertainty characterized by regional conflict and
increasing economic dislocation. Shobert, a senior associate at the
National Bureau of Asian Research, explores how America’s
attitudes toward China have changed and how our economic anxieties
and political dysfunction have laid the foundation for turning our
collective frustrations away from acknowledging the consequences of
our own poor decisions. Shobert argues that unless we address these
problems, a disastrous chapter in American life is right around the
corner, one in which Americans will decide that conflict with China
is the only sensible option. After framing how the American public
thinks about China, Shobert offers two alternative paths forward.
He proposes steps that businesses, governments, and individuals can
take to potentially stop and reverse America’s path to a
dystopian future.
