China is Not Our Enemy [9781682195413]

Overview

As Washington intensifies its confrontation with Beijing, is a new Cold War inevitable?

From trade wars and military escalation to technological competition and geopolitical rivalry, the relationship between the United States and China has become one of the defining questions of the twenty-first century. Yet much of the public debate is driven by fear, misinformation, and assumptions that leave little room for understanding.

Drawing on years of research, travel, and political engagement, Jodie Evans and Mikaela Nhondo Erskog offer a different perspective. They trace China's modern history, examine its political and economic development, and explore the aspirations of a younger generation often absent from Western accounts. Rather than arguing for uncritical admiration, they challenge the narratives that have made conflict seem inevitable.

China Is Not Our Enemy makes the case that peaceful coexistence, dialogue, and cooperation—not military confrontation—offer the best path forward for both countries and for a world confronting shared crises that no nation can solve alone.
