Has China Won?

　　毋庸置疑，21世紀地緣政治霸權不在美國，就在中國手中。而這這場美中霸權爭奪戰，是否真的勢在必行？若真的發生了，結果是否會如眾人預料？

　　現今，沒有其他國家能和美、中分庭抗禮，他們隔著一個太平洋，彼此虎視眈眈。美國以自由為傲，中國珍視從混亂中獲取的自由；美國擅於決斷，中國推崇耐心；美國成為一個難以均富的社會，中國邁向菁英政治；美國揚棄多邊主義，中國崇尚多邊主義……這場霸權爭奪戰，實已開打。

　　The defining geopolitical contest of the twenty-first century is between China and the US. But is it avoidable? And if it happens, is the outcome already inevitable?

　　China and America are world powers without serious rivals. They eye each other warily across the Pacific; they communicate poorly; there seems little natural empathy. A massive geopolitical contest has begun.

　　America prizes freedom; China values freedom from chaos.
　　America values strategic decisiveness; China values patience.
　　America is becoming society of lasting inequality; China a meritocracy.
　　America has abandoned multilateralism; China welcomes it.

　　Kishore Mahbubani, a diplomat and scholar with unrivalled access to policymakers in Beijing and Washington, has written the definitive guide to the deep fault lines in the relationship, a clear-eyed assessment of the risk of any confrontation, and a bracingly honest appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses, and superpower eccentricities, of the US and China.
