Rethinking China

A book by author Zhengyu “Z” Huang

In Rethinking China, Zhengyu “Z” Huang delivers a timely and incisive critique of the prevailing US narrative on China—challenging long-held assumptions with data, expert interviews, and firsthand insight. Blending history, economics, diplomacy, and lived experience, Huang dismantles assumptions surrounding trade, intellectual property, human rights, and national security, while cutting through fear and laying bare the dangerous consequences of dehumanizing rhetoric and strategic miscalculation. From the legacy of Vietnam to the risks of war over Taiwan, he calls for evidence-based policymaking and a more honest, results-driven approach to coexistence and competition with China. This book is an essential guide for policymakers, media, and citizens alike seeking clarity in the most consequential relationship of our time.
