Dr. Michael Beckley on Why China is Far From Becoming the World’s Superpower

Fletcher Forum Podcast Editor Mark Benedetti sits down with Professor Michael Beckley to discuss the complicated geopolitical situation between the United States and China. Author of the recently published book, Unrivaled: Why America will Remain the World’s Sole Superpower, Beckley argues that although China poses threats to American security and economic interests, it is still very far behind from dethroning the United States as a superpower. Amidst the current rhetoric and hype against China, Beckley explains that there isn’t a reason to view China’s rise with worry.
