The Once and Future Hegemon

In a world bristling with dangers, only one enemy poses a truly mortal challenge to the United States and the peaceful and prosperous world that America guarantees. That enemy is China, a country

-that invented totalitarianism thousands of years ago

-whose economic power rivals our own

-that believes its superior race and culture give it the right to universal deference

-that teaches its people to hate America for standing in the way of achieving its narcissistic “dream” of world domination

-that believes in its manifest destiny to usher in the World of Great Harmony

-which publishes maps showing the exact extent of the nuclear destruction it could rain down on the United States

Steven Mosher exposes the resurgent aspirations of the would-be hegemon—and the roots of China’s will to domination in its five-thousand-year history of ruthless conquest and assimilation of other nations, brutal repression of its own people, and belligerence toward any civilization that challenges its claim to superiority.

The naïve idealism of our “China hands” has lulled America into a fool’s dream of “engagement” with the People’s Republic of China and its “peaceful evolution” toward democracy and freedom. Wishful thinking, says Mosher, has blinded us to the danger we face and left the world vulnerable to China’s overweening ambitions.

Mosher knows China as few Westerners do. Having exposed as a visiting graduate student the monstrous practice of forced abortions, he became the target of the regime’s crushing retaliation. His encyclopedic grasp of China’s history and its present-day politics, his astute insights, and his bracing realism are the perfect antidote for our dangerous confusion about the Bully of Asia.

Editorial Reviews

Review

With mounting admiration I have read Bully of Asia. Mosher's new book is the most sophisticated, up to date, richly-based argument in existence for dangers in the Rise of China - dangers to the giant's neighbors and to America. The author has long experience of China, writes beautifully, knows ancient history, and cares about the values of the democratic West and its friends. Bully of Asia burst's the bubble of Beltway liberals' trembling over risks in "upsetting China." Beijing is realistic; Mosher, digging beneath the surface of current issues, urges the US to be realistic too.

Dr. Ross Terrill, Fairbank Center, Harvard University

China is sneaking up on us

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a superlative book that details the long, despotic history of China. That despotism continues today in a more-or-less new form, but a murderous despotism nonetheless. Mosher does a marvelous job of detailing how China, not Russia, is the current threat to world order and freedom, and that so many people, especially in the West, are relatively clueless about it, in part due to China's clever way of misrepresenting itself. The book is a real eye-opener, and should be required reading all over the darn place. Highly recommended.

A vital overview of China’s intentions towards Asia

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

The Bully of Asia by China expert Steven W. Mosher serves as a vital overview of China’s intentions towards Asia.

Throughout its history, China has exerted powerful control over its neighbors – to the extent of its capabilities. This control was justified by a culture that viewed other peoples as inferior, and thus, naturally taking on the status of vassals rather than equals.

In the West’s recent memory, however, China was wracked with turmoil and dominated by the main Western powers and Japan – certainly since the Opium Wars of the mid-1800s. As such, China isn’t viewed with the same keen sense of historical alarm as are Germany and Japan.

China’s economy eclipsed Germany’s years ago and then Japan’s and, as measured by purchasing power parity, is now even larger than America’s economy. Inevitably, China’s military power has followed closely behind.

Mosher’s Bully of Asia clearly explains why China’s rise is a threat, not only to the sovereign independence of its neighbors in Asia, but also to America and its democratic allies.

Reviewer: Chuck DeVore is a Vice President at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. He served in the California State Assemblyman from 2004 to 2010. Before his election, he was an executive in the aerospace industry. He was a Special Assistant for Foreign Affairs in the Department of Defense from 1986 to 1988. He is a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army (retired) Reserve. DeVore is the author of "The Texas Model: Prosperity in the Lone Star State and Lessons for America" and the co-author of "China Attacks."

They are moving fast because they know that eventually the world or more specifically the United States will catch on to their true intent before achieving a good part of that

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is a must read for everybody. Our policy makers should wake up to this ever-growing threat to our world from China. The ruling Communist Party in China is frantically implementing whatever it is that will give them an advantage in their pursuit of total dominance not only in science and technology and eventually militarily. They are moving fast because they know that eventually the world or more specifically the United States will catch on to their true intent before achieving a good part of that. Once they have achieved some measure of military parity with the US they can pretty much have their sway first in Asia and the rest in their own good time. At home their brutal control of their own people would be a lot easier for them to handle.

You do not understand China without reading this book

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

Anyone wishing to know what China's leadership is planning needs to read this book. Steven Mosher lived in China as a Harvard researcher, knows China's language, culture, and history intimately, has many Chinese friends, has followed China closely for decades. He is sought after as a speaker on China. He also has a great love for the real China, the China supressed by the Communist Party. Mosher explains with profound insight and scholarly dispassion, the historical background and development of the policy of hegemony that underlines all Chines strategic planning. Mosher draws on his vast knowledge of Chinese history and culture to penetrate into the minds of Beijing's strategic planners. What he reveals is shocking. If you read no other book on modern China, read this one.

Forget Russia, focus on China

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is fascinating. While we (United States) spend all our resources on running down Russia's intents, we seemingly let China stake claim to a large part of the oceans, allow them to orchestrate North Korea, and our ignorance of the Chinese culture and what true hegemony means is deplorable. This book should wake up Americans to a very real threat.

Read this book before going to China

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have been in interested in the China phenomenon since the late 80's when I travelled extensively in Asia on business and met many other American businessmen traveling to China to give away the farm. I always felt that they were fools and refused to travel to or do business with Communist China, although Hong Kong was still free. I have never regretted spurning Communist China. I owned a software company and, as we all know, the residents and government of Communist China just steal software rather than pay for it, and real rule of law as we know it is nonexistent. After reading this excellent book I realize I made an excellent decision to avoid China.

This book is a must-read for all USA citizens!

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have always wanted to learn more about China but never made the time. I saw this book and decided to buy and read it. I am so glad I did. It is definitely a page-turner that makes you want to keep reading it. I am learning so many things about the history and political culture of China that I always wanted to know about. It also helps me integrate what little I knew before, like Sun Tzu's "The Art of War." I still have lots more of the book to read, and after I finish the entire book, I plan to re-read it again from the beginning. In today's world environment, learning more about China and Chinese history and political culture is a must. China is an existential threat to the future of the United States. This book could not have been written and published at a better time!

I absolutely love this book

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I absolutely love this book. I think there's a lot here that Dr. Mosher already covered in his book Hegemon. But that's what makes this book so valuable. We see how Dr. Mosher's thesis has played out over the last 20 years. Very readable and thought provoking. Anyone interesting in Sino-US relations in the past and in the future would definitely benefit from hearing this perspective.

Interesting Analysis - however could be more crisp

Reviewed in Germany on December 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

The analysis gives a thorough overview over the political ground flows of China's politics. From historic traditions through the 19-th. century developments and into the communist revolution and from there right on the spot of the most recent interests of China in national culture, foreign politics and the use of its economic capabilities to improve its position worldwide and to be come a rival in other powers international affairs.
The content is a prospect of chances and threats to develop within the next decades not only in Asia but throughout the world. It covers economic, military and human rights aspects as well a cyber-interference spreading from the communist dominated China.
Unfortunately the book lacks a concentration and a better organized structuring making the reader to read several aspects many times.
