In The Long Game, Rush Doshi demonstrates that China is in fact playing a long, methodical game to
displace America from regional and global order. Drawing from a rich base of Chinese primary sources, including decades worth of party documents and memoirs by party leaders, he traces the history of China's grand strategy from the end of the Cold War to the present day and puts forward an asymmetric strategy for the United States to deal with it -- one that ironically borrows from Beijing's own playbook.
