Chinese society has been shaped by the interplay of the EAST—exams, autocracy, stability, and technology—from ancient times through the present. Beginning with the Sui dynasty's introduction of the civil service exam, known as Keju, in 587 CE—and continuing through the personnel management system used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—Chinese autocracies have developed exceptional tools for homogenizing ideas, norms, and practices. But this uniformity came with a huge downside: stifled creativity.

Americans are measuring the wrong war and using the wrong scoreboard. For years, the U.S. China debate has focused on headlines: tariffs, diplomacy, and who invents the next breakthrough.

This book makes a controversial argument and tests it with data: the United States has already lost key dimensions of the economic, trade, and technology contest with China, and the American public does not yet grasp how far ...

Understanding the pathways through which competition might escalate to conflict is essential for designing the policies and military capabilities needed to deter that outcome. The most immediate danger is probably not deliberate war initiated by either side in the cold calculation that conflict ...
