This comprehensive book delves into the intricate political economy of conflict between China, a rapidly rising power, and the United States, a declining one. It offers a well-informed analysis of why China emerges as the primary beneficiary of neo-liberal globalization, a project initiated in the aftermath of the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the late 1960s under the leadership of the United States. Furthermore, it explores the reasons behind the United States and its allies targeting Huawei and other Chinese high-tech giants. The book also examines the role of the state and the Chinese political system in shaping China's political economy and its global integration. It raises critical questions about whether China's global rise presents a viable and sustainable alternative to neo-liberal globalization. Given the growing concerns among American leaders about China's rise, the book examines the likelihood of an armed conflict between China and the United States. Drawing upon a wealth of empirical evidence and engaging with various theoretical schools of thought, including Marxist perspectives, the book provides insightful answers to these pressing questions.
