From solar panels to synthetic biology, an
accessible-yet-authoritative overview of how climate change, the
global Covid-19 pandemic, and emerging technologies are changing
China's relationship with the world, and what it means for
governments, companies, and organizations across the globe. Ever
since China began its ascendancy to great-power status in the
1980s, observers have focused on its growing economic, military,
and diplomatic power. But in recent years, Chinese officials,
businesses, and institutions have increased their visibility and
influence on every major global issue, from climate change and
artificial intelligence to biotechnology and the global Covid-19
pandemic. How have these newer issues changed China's relationship
with the world? And, importantly, how can we prepare for a future
increasingly shaped by China? In China's Next Act, Scott M. Moore
re-envisions China's role in the world, with a focus on
sustainability and technology. Moore argues that these increasingly
pressing, shared global challenges are reshaping China's economy
and foreign policy, and consequently, cannot be tackled without
China. Yet sustainability and technology present opportunities for
intensified economic, geopolitical, and ideological competition-a
reality that Beijing recognizes. The US and other countries must do
the same if they are to meet ecological and technological
challenges in the decades ahead. In some areas, like clean
technology development, competition can be good for the planet. But
in others, it could be catastrophic-only cooperation can lower the
risks of artificial intelligence and other disruptive new
technologies. In this clearly written and accessible overview,
Moore examines how countries like the US must balance cooperation
and competition with China in response to shared challenges. With
an emphasis on opportunities as well as threats, Moore addresses
not only key developments in sustainability and technology within
China, but also their implications for foreign countries,
companies, and other organizations. China's influence on
sustainability and technology is both global and granular-and
twenty-first century China itself looks more like a network than a
nation-state. Featuring original interviews and an in-depth look at
Chinese government policy, China's Next Act provides a unique-and
uniquely balanced-window into these new dimensions of China's
global ascension.
