China has emerged as Washington's overriding challenge of the twenty-first century. This rivalry between the world's two largest economies is not just about dominance; it's about shaping the future. In a world that is increasingly interconnected and technologically driven, leadership in innovation and technology is paramount. The battle for supremacy in these areas will have far-reaching consequences that extend well beyond the confines of economic competition.Visiting Beijing, you can't help but be in awe at their ability to drive change from the top with advanced long-term planning and little opposition. The West has an advantage in creating a competitive landscape and opening options to the opportunities it presents. Collaboration, innovation, and adaptation are advantages and will be key in navigating this complex terrain.This is a great article from Michael A.
