review: Editorial Reviews Review "This is essential reading for anyone concerned about America’s economic future." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) "'We hope this book provides the material to understand what happened and why,' the authors conclude. Mission accomplished." — Kirkus Reviews "A must-read for anyone interested in what happened between China and the United States, likely the world’s most important economic relationship." — Forbes If you've ever wished you were a fly on the wall as top leaders in the U.S. and China were considering how to parry their counterparts' most recent moves, here's your big chance. . . . The book starts out with an incredible reveal, at least for those of us who have watched China for years . . . (No spoilers: Go read the book to find out!) — Axios " Superpower Showdown , a gripping and granular account of the past, present and future of the United States-China trade war by two former Beijing correspondents of the Wall Street Journal , could just as well have been titled Marriage Story . . . . There are perhaps no two journalists better placed to tell this tale. . . . The strength of this book lies in the rich perspectives it offers from both Washington and Beijing, presenting a clear insight into the decision-making of both parties." — The Hindu "Davis and Wei provide an essential overview of how the United States and China became so entwined, and the challenges ahead. . . . Superpower Showdown is especially insightful on how the contradictory natures of Trump and Xi have impeded understanding." — Boston Globe "The twists and turns that produced the Trump administration’s China policy fill Superpower Showdown , a lively account by two gifted Wall Street Journal reporters." — Project Syndicate "[A] well-reported and fascinating look into Sino-American economic relations . . . The most compelling parts of the book report on what the negotiators and policymakers on both sides were thinking before striking a deal in January 2020." — American Enterprise Institute “My first advice to the Biden administration on trade and particularly our relationship with China is that they need to get and study copies of Superpower Showdown , a book by Davis and Wei that describes the environment with China—that we are now experiencing an era of confrontation.” — Josh Bolten, President and CEO of Business Roundtable, former White House chief of staff to President George W.
