For more than a century, no US adversary or coalition of
adversaries - not Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, or the Soviet Union
- has ever reached sixty percent of US GDP. China is the sole
exception, and it is fast emerging into a global superpower that
could rival, if not eclipse, the United States. What does China
want, does it have a grand strategy to achieve it, and what should
the United States do about it? In The Long Game, Rush Doshi draws
from a rich base of Chinese primary sources, including decades
worth of party documents, leaked materials, memoirs by party
leaders, and a careful analysis of China's conduct to provide a
history of China's grand strategy since the end of the Cold War.
Taking readers behind the Party's closed doors, he uncovers
Beijing's long, methodical game to displace America from its
hegemonic position in both the East Asia regional and global orders
through three sequential "strategies of displacement." Beginning in
the 1980s, China focused for two decades on "hiding capabilities
and biding time." After the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, it became
more assertive regionally, following a policy of "actively
accomplishing something." Finally, in the aftermath populist
elections of 2016, China shifted to an even more aggressive
strategy for undermining US hegemony, adopting the phrase "great
changes unseen in century." After charting how China's long game
has evolved, Doshi offers a comprehensive yet asymmetric plan for
an effective US response. Ironically, his proposed approach takes a
page from Beijing's own strategic playbook to undermine China's
ambitions and strengthen American order without competing
dollar-for-dollar, ship-for-ship, or loan-for-loan.
