Transforming the China Challenge

By: Allan J. "Alonzo" Wind

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

China, a challenge that looms large, is often depicted as a menacing force to be met with confrontation and containment. In some circles, there is even talk of an inevitable or imminent conflict. The Chinese Communist Party is often cast as a unique axis of evil, a threat to liberal democracies and emerging democracies in Asia and beyond. The Belt and Road Initiative, a sprawling infrastructure project that spans continents, is viewed with suspicion, seen either as a tool for economic subjugation or a pathway to conquest.
What if this need not be the case? What if we were to calmly assess, analyze, and counter President Xi’s autocracy's policy actions in ways that discourage adventurism, incentivize collaboration and cooperation, and promote partnership to address global dilemmas?
This collection of musings is meant to examine flashpoints in a dispassionate, nonideological, and constructive manner and suggest steps that might offer greater success in overcoming, converting, and transforming the China challenge into a more helpful framework.
