“Given Hass’s strong connections to Obama administration officials, key decision-makers within the Biden administration are surely aware of this book’s prognoses as they continue to craft a China strategy. For this reason alone, China watchers in business, academia and policy would do well to read it.”—Lily McElwee, International Affairs“Ryan Hass is among our nation’s most knowledgeable, pragmatic, and clear-thinking experts on U.S.-China relations. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding how the United States can renew its advantages in its competition with China.”—Ambassador Susan E. Rice, former U.S. National Security Advisor“Ryan Hass has provided an indispensable and timely contribution to understanding our critical path forward with China. What gives Stronger such value are Hass’s unique insights born of his seat of influence as a respected practitioner who has touched all the bases of America’s most urgent strategic challenge of the twenty-first century.”—Jon M. Huntsman, Former U.S. Ambassador to China and Russia“To deal effectively with China, Americans and others must start by thinking clearly about China. Ryan Hass’s Stronger is a tremendously useful step in that direction. It is comprehensive but concise; well informed by firsthand expertise but also very clear and readable; idealistic but also hardheaded and practical. Stronger is a sensible and timely guide to the challenges of dealing with China.”—James Fallows, author of China Airborne“Ryan Hass has achieved a rare feat: he has given us a vital blueprint for the future of America’s relationship with China. He makes the case for confidence without hubris, for vigilance without fear—and, most of all, for the essential value of competent, principled leadership. Stronger is an extraordinary confluence of candor, analysis, experience, and reflection.”—Evan Osnos, author of Age of Ambition
