The twenty-first century is no longer defined by ideology - it's defined by rivalry. The American-Chinese Century dissects the economic, technological, and political struggle between the world's two superpowers and exposes how every policy, innovation, and military buildup feeds a global competition that no one can easily stop. William Liu traces how decades of globalization have given way to fragmentation, revealing the hidden mechanisms - trade wars, semiconductor battles, data control, and military escalation - that are locking the world into a new, irreversible order. Clear, bold, and unflinching, this book explains how America and China are reshaping the rules of global power - and why the choices made now will determine whether the next century brings cooperation, collapse, or cold war.
