How the U.S. policy of competition with China is detrimental to democracy peace and prosperity—and how a saner approach is possible   For close to a decade the U.S. government has been preoccupied with the threat of China fearing that the country will “eat our lunch ” in the words of Joe Biden. The United States has crafted its foreign and domestic policy to help constrain China’s military power and economic growth. Van Jackson and Michael Brenes argue that great-power competition with China is misguided and vastly underestimates the costs and risks that geopolitical rivalry poses to economic prosperity the quality of democracy and ultimately global stability.   This in-depth assessment of the trade-offs and pitfalls of protracted competition with China reveals how such a policy exacerbates inequality leads to xenophobia and increases the likelihood of violence around the world. In addition it distracts from the priority of addressing such issues as climate change while at the same time undercutting democratic pluralism and sacrificing liberty in the name of prevailing against an enemy “other.” Jackson and Brenes provide an informed and urgent critique of current U.S. foreign policy and a road map toward a saner more democratically accountable strategy of easing tension and achieving effective diplomacy.
