China's vast infrastructure projects now span from the ocean floor to outer space, connecting Africa's megacities to rural America. With its ambitious wiring efforts, China is reshaping the global order, creating a new digital landscape. As things stand, the rest of the world still has a choice, but the battle for tomorrow demands bold risks in uncertain political terrain. Unchecked, China will dominate global data flows, gaining unparalleled insights into market movements, foreign competitors' deliberations, and the lives of countless individuals entangled in its systems. In this critical contest, democracies cannot afford to lose. Jonathan Hillman takes readers on a global tour of these emerging battlefields, unveiling China's digital footprint and exploring the dangers of a world where all routers lead to Beijing.
