THE CONTEST OF THE CENTURY

Geoff Dyer

 

Review by Ali Wyne in WSJ., Feb., 11, 2014 titled Disharmonious Rise

 
 

Reviewer comment:
Mr. Wyne has a mixed response and assessment of Mr. Dyer's position. Mr. Wyne is more concerned and even critical of the Chinese policy of political power expansion than is the author of this book. He considers that: "Mr. Dyer is optimistic that the U. S. will 'win': that is, 'retain its role at the center of international affairs'". But he believes Mr. Dyer believes in the official Chinese propaganda that their 'rise' is natural, peaceful, deserved, and beneficial for the world.
Mr. Dyer's view is one of those that Jonathan Ward considers dangerous for the United States. He would agree more with Mr. Wyne's assessment.
