Power Rivals: America and China's Superpower Struggle

From rare metals in the ground to cyber and weapons in space, the US-China rivalry will shape and shake the world. Will America stay a superpower - or will China become the dominant power? Speed, scale, unity, technology and finance will be key factors. The key battlegrounds will be finance, investment, data, trade, and civilian and military technology. The rivalry’s global chessboard ranges from geography and resources, finance and debt, diplomacy and deterrence, the frontiers of space, nuclear power, maritime supremacy, techno-nationalism, and clashes of digital sovereignty. My goal is to help you see where the rivalry sits today, and more importantly, what America, China, Europe and the rest of the world might look like in 2030. This decade represents China’s window of opportunity and America’s window of vulnerability. Restoring America’s brand, balance sheet, financial security, and social mobility as well as a more agile economic and national security policies is the linchpin to winning the rivalry. The drama will unfold across the globe as both rivals seek allies to turn the balance of power in their favor.
