China’s Next Act: How Sustainability and Technology are Reshaping China’s Rise and the World’s Future by Scott M. Moore
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: From solar panels to synthetic biology, an accessible-yet-authoritative overview of how climate change, the global Covid-19 pandemic, and emerging technologies are changing China’s relationship with the world, and what it means for governments, companies, and organizations across the globe.
Ever since China began its ascendancy to great-power status in the 1980s, observers have focused on its growing economic, military, and diplomatic power. But in recent years, Chinese officials, businesses, and institutions have increased their visibility and influence on every major global issue, from climate change and artificial intelligence to biotechnology and the global Covid-19 pandemic. How have these newer issues changed China’s relationship with the world? And, importantly, how can we prepare for a future increasingly shaped by China?
In China’s Next Act, Scott M. Moore re-envisions China’s role in the world, with a focus on sustainability and technology. Moore argues that these increasingly pressing, shared global challenges are reshaping China’s economy and foreign policy, and consequently, cannot be tackled without China. Yet sustainability and technology present opportunities for intensified economic, geopolitical, and ideological competition–a reality that Beijing recognizes. The US and other countries must do the same if they are to meet ecological and technological challenges in the decades ahead. In some areas, like clean technology development, competition can be good for the planet. But in others, it could be catastrophic–only cooperation can lower the risks of artificial intelligence and other disruptive new technologies.
