The Long Game

In The Long Game, Rush Doshi explores China's strategic efforts to challenge U.S. global and regional dominance, drawing from extensive primary sources to trace the evolution of Beijing's approach since the Cold War. The book reveals a calculated progression through three distinct phases, from concealment to assertiveness, culminating in an increasingly aggressive stance post-2016. Doshi also offers a nuanced U.S. response plan that leverages strategic principles reminiscent of China's own tactics to better counter Beijing's ambitions and strengthen American influence.
