Taken together, the speeches herein are similar to
U.S. diplomat George Kennan’s 1946 “Long Telegram”
to the State Department that outlined his views
on the Soviet Union. This book is different from the
“Long Telegram” in two important respects.
First, unlike Kennan’s case, written by an envoy at
post, this book contains the words and policies of the
President and his most senior officials. Second, given
China’s population size, economic prowess, and historic
global ambitions, the People’s Republic of China is a more
capable competitor than the Soviet Union at its height.
