BOOK CORNER: DANGER ZONE: The Coming Conflict with China, by Hal Brands and Michael Beckley.

DANGER ZONE: The Coming Conflict with China, a book by Hal Brands and Michael Beckley. The book enumerates the possibility of why the US-China conflict can happen soon. It is because Beijing is worried that its power is peaking soon.
A decisive showdown between the US and China could come sooner than anyone thinks, claims the subject book. Sino-US rivalry is not a marathon, but a sprint that will play out in this very decade only, says the book.
The book starts with a highly plausible doomsday scenario in January 2025, in a situation where China has invaded Taiwan, putting the US in a bind, and the world on the brink of World War III. It could have been avoided, by reading the signs right, the book claims.
