"Timely and thought-provoking...refreshing... Prestowitz provides an unsparing analysis of how Washington's elite fell into the grip of their China delusion."--James Kynge, Financial Times "A veteran U.S. trade negotiator offers a cogent overview of how the U.S. grievously misjudged China's response to globalization. . . . Prestowitz doesn't just point out problems; he offers a detailed, 25-page 'Plan for America.' An excellent comprehensive study from an expert on the subject."-- Kirkus , Starred Review "Prestowitz is one of America's most experienced and thoughtful experts on trade policy and its economic impact. . . . To better understand both the challenge posed by China and the thoughts of an influential participant in the debate in Washington, DC, read this book."--Scott Foster, Asia Times "Another big topic on the global agenda for 2021 will be US-China relations and how they are reset by President Joe Biden. In The World Turned Upside Down , Clyde Prestowitz, leader of the first US trade mission to Beijing, calls for a more sophisticated strategy towards China rather than the narrow trade scraps of recent years."-- Financial Times , What To Read in 2021 "Clyde Prestowitz presents the most comprehensive and practical plan yet to meet the Chinese Communist Party's grave challenge to the United States."--Dennis Blair, former Director of National Intelligence "In The World Turned Upside Down , Clyde Prestowitz, who led the way in describing how a country like Japan can skew the world trading system, powerfully addresses the biggest problem of all: China. A perfect match of author and subject."--James Mann, author of The China Fantasy "How did America and other advanced democracies find themselves increasingly beholden to the Chinese Communist Party? Seasoned Asia hand Clyde Prestowitz' wide-ranging exposé unpacks the long road to this current disturbing reality, while offering a sober and sensible blueprint for pushing back against the PRC's malign activities in the US and around the world."--David Shambaugh, author of Where Great Powers Meet: America & China in Southeast Asia "This book lucidly describes the economic and diplomatic misconceptions that have shaped our China policy. It then lays out many ways that we can act to prevent Chinese hegemony."--Ralph Gomory, President Emeritus, Sloan Foundation, former Chief Scientist, IBM "Many books have described what China is, where it is going and where it comes from. What makes this book unique is Prestowitz's detailed prescription for how the US should change to face China. Every political, academic and business leader who cares about democracy and the free world should read this book and follow its advice.
