In today's review, we look at the book The Avoidable War by Kevin Rudd, former Prime Minister of Australia, who examines the precarious relationship between the United States and China, arguing that the two countries are on a collision course. Rudd explores the historical and current complexities of the US-China relationship, highlighting the clash of values, the intensifying competition for global power, and the potential for conflict. He analyzes the strategies and motivations of both countries, focusing on the leadership of Xi Jinping and the ambitions of China’s increasingly powerful military. Rudd argues that the two nations must find a way to manage their competition through a framework of "managed strategic competition" to avoid a devastating war, while acknowledging the challenges of navigating the deep distrust and conflicting interests that define their relationship.
