Upstart

Upstart: How China Became a Great Power (Oxford University Press) explores China’s rise to the international stage, an idea that seemed impossible a mere 30 years ago. Mastro argues that China was able to achieve this new status through a mix of strategic emulation of U.S. policies, exploitation, and innovative approaches. This book also doubles as a policy guidance manual for the U.S. in maintaining competition in these new and unfamiliar waters.
