Timely and thought-provoking. * Financial Times * A fascinating analysis of how China, under Xi Jinping, has turned into its own worst enemy. This is essential reading for those wishing to understand the boomerang effect from Xi's overreach. * Brahma Chellaney, Professor of Strategic Studies, Center for Policy Research * Timely and important. Today we are fixated on geopolitical conflicts between China and the US, but this book tells us that there is another wave of conflicts emerging from the horizon-those between China and countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is a sobering read and recommended for all students of China and world affairs. * Yasheng Huang, MIT Sloan School of Management * Perceptive guides... that provide insight and suggestions on how to grapple with China... Timely and thought-provoking. * James Kynge, Financial Times * How does the growing rivalry between the US and China play out in the rest of the world? Patey has traveled to Africa, Latin America, and Europe to ask both Chinese and locals about the ups and downs of their evolving relationship. He offers a detailed and compelling ground-eye view of the complications China faces as it takes on its new and global role. This is invaluable reading for anyone trying to understand China's power projection * where it succeeds and how it falls short. * In this COVID-and-after era, there is a pressing need for informed correctives to the propaganda of Chinese triumphalism or the illusion that America can somehow lead the global order back to business as usual. Patey's How China Loses is the kind of intellectual medicine the world requires a comprehensive account of Beijing's overreach, and how middle powers in Europe and elsewhere can push back to find a settling point. * Rory Medcalf, Professor, National Security College, Australian National University, and author of Indo-Pacific Empire * Citing the diplomatic and international relations experiences of several nations in their engagement with China, Patey argues importantly why and how they should push back against ways in which China is trying to reshape the world. * George Magnus, Associate, Oxford University China Centre; Research Associate, SOAS London; and author of Red Flags: Why Xi's China is in Jeopardy * These valuable books focus on the many forms of resistance that China is encountering as its influence expands. * Foreign Affairs * In a mix of travelogue and heavy analysis, Mr. Patey circumnavigates the globe, exploring the various elements of China's overseas involvement and the local reaction... Mr. Patey's approach * combining journalistic exploration with data and facts *
