A prominent authority on China’s Belt and Road Initiative reveals the global risks lurking within Beijing’s project of the century China’s Belt and Road Initiative is the world’s most ambitious and misunderstood geoeconomic vision. To carry out President Xi Jinping’s flagship foreign-policy effort, China promises to spend over one trillion dollars for new ports, railways, fiber-optic cables, power plants, and other connections. The plan touches more than one hundred and thirty countries and has expanded into the Arctic, cyberspace, and even outer space. Beijing says that it is promoting global development, but Washington warns that it is charting a path to global dominance. Taking readers on a journey to China’s projects in Asia, Europe, and Africa, Jonathan E. Hillman reveals how this grand vision is unfolding. As China pushes beyond its borders and deep into dangerous territory, it is repeating the mistakes of the great powers that came before it, Hillman argues. If China succeeds, it will remake the world and place itself at the center of everything. But Xi may be overreaching: all roads do not yet lead to Beijing.

Who says the internet has to spread freedom and democracy ? Its vast infrastructure  projects now extend from the ocean floor to outer space, and from Africa's megacities into rural America. China is wiring the world and, in doing so, rewriting the global order. As things stand, the rest of the world still has a choice. But the fight for tomorrow will require America and its allies to build new coalitions, overhaul outdated concepts of security and compete in risky markets. Taking readers on a global tour of the emerging battlefields, the author reveals what China's digital footprint looks like on the ground, and explores the dangers of a world in which all routers lead to Beijing. Unchecked, China will reshape global flows of data to reflect its interests. It will develop an unrivalled understanding of market movements, the deliberation of foreign competitors and the lives of countless individuals enmeshed in its systems. Networks create large winners, and this is one contest that democracies can't afford to lose.
