Note "The fractious relationship between China and the United States will be a central issue for the coming decades, and no region is as hotly contested and the Indo-Pacific. At its heart is an intensifying rivalry between the autocratic and democratic systems of government marked by the disputed South China Sea where China has built military bases in open violation of international law. At stake is the survival of current rules-based world order. In Asian Waters, award-winning BBC journalist and Asian specialist Humphrey Hawksley breaks down the tensions that he has followed throughout this vast and volitale region for years. He joins dots that include America's rise as the predominate Pacific power Sino-US trade wars, threats against Taiwan, war on the Korean peninsula, Japan's role in protecting democracy in Asia, and much more. With vivid storytelling, concise history, and pointed arguments, Asian Waters is a must-read for anyone interested in global politics"--Cover
