Really liked the comparison of contemporary China to imperial Japan. Crisp and clean, it's pretty well written. It was sad to read about how US foreign policy failed so much. No wonder Trump happened. Really felt good to figure out Americas place in the world. The future looks less scary now. Great value for money!

A WELL-RESEARCHED AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING BOOK
"Cold War II? China, America, Global Strategy and the New Cold War" is an insightful and well-referenced analysis of global power dynamics in the 21st century. The author’s academic background is clearly evident, with degrees in law and languages and research positions at respected universities worldwide. And the depth of research shows in every chapter.
The book’s central premise, that the world is once again in a state of cold war, is both credible and widely shared by many in academia, government, and the military. The presentation of background analysis and data appears sound, and the economic insights alone make this a valuable read for anyone interested in geopolitics or international relations.
My only reservation is the tone. At times, it leans more toward personal opinion than objective analysis. However, tone is largely a matter of preference, and others may find the author’s assertive voice engaging rather than distracting.
Overall, "Cold War II?" offers a gold mine of information and perspective. It’s the kind of book readers should approach with an open mind. In essence: read it, reflect on it, and draw your own conclusions.

It’s hard to shake the suspicion that the author simply lifted others’ ideas wholesale. Dozens of passages feel like thinly veiled rewrites of well-known reports and articles—yet there’s no proper attribution. He stitches together borrowed statistics and historical anecdotes as if they were his own, all while presenting recycled analysis as groundbreaking. The result? A disjointed, unoriginal narrative that borrows credibility from genuine scholarship it never earned. Readers deserve real research, not someone else’s work dressed up in new clothes.

This book showed me what drives great powers into conflicts and how those conflicts play out. Well written, lots of footnotes so I can check out the others' ideas. Insightful, compares past and current conflicts in East Asia. A+
