"Bully of Asia: Why China's Dream is the New Threat to World Order" by Steven W. Mosher is a comprehensive analysis of China's rise to power and its implications for the global order. The book argues that China's dream of world domination is now a reality, and it is engaged in a total war with the United States across all domains. The author asserts that the conflict is not merely about trade relations or cyber-espionage, but a deep underlying clash of values, institutions, and civilizations. The book suggests that the conflict is ultimately about whether America and its allies, or China alone, will dominate the future world.
Steven W. Mosher is an American social scientist, pro-life activist, and author known for his work on China's one-child policy. He is the president of the Population Research Institute, an organization dedicated to exposing human rights abuses in population control programs.
