Summary of Michael Pillsbury's The Hundred-Year Marathon

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 When Xi Jinping took office in 2013, China observers in America did not yet know what to make of him. He seemed like a harmless-looking man of sixty with thick black hair and a genial smile. But he had a dream of a resurgent China that would reclaim its rightful place atop the global hierarchy.

#2 The Chinese monument that stands in Tiananmen Square is a perfect symbol of the relationship between China and the United States. China’s day of justice is coming, and it will be directed at America.

#3 The Chinese had a fascination with Charles Darwin and Thomas Huxley’s works, and they adopted the idea of natural selection as tao tai, or elimination, which would come to dominate the Chinese understanding of Darwin’s thought.

#4 American experts on China failed to take this book seriously. It was never translated into English, and Chinese leaders read it. The book taught lessons similar to those in the Warring States era, about how to use deception and avoid encirclement.
