When the chaos began no one was ready for it. Before anyone knew what was happeining, the living were outnumbered by the dead. It was far too late. In only a couple of days, hundreds of thousands of people had already been killed. The few who survived now found themselves alone, fighting a war that could not be won. What do you do to survive in a world where death has ceased to be the final destination of the living? Where do you go when there is no safe place left? What do you do once the Dead Come Home?

"A strong antidote to the growing sinophobia in the U.S."—Wall Street Journal

Many see China and the United States on the path to confrontation. The Chinese leadership violates human rights norms. It maintains a harsh rule in Tibet, spars aggressively with Taiwan, and is clamping down on Hong Kong. A rising power with enormous assets, China increasingly considers American interests an obstacle to its own.

But, the authors argue, the United States is the least of China's problems. Despite its sheer size, economic vitality, and drive to upgrade its military forces, China remains a vulnerable power, crowded on all sides by powerful rivals and potential foes. As it has throughout its history, China faces immense security challenges, and their sources are at and within China's own borders. China's foreign policy is calibrated to defend its territorial integrity against antagonists who are numerous, near, and strong.

The authors trace the implications of this central point for China's relations with the United States and the rest of the world.
