Commentary
In a recent article for The National Interest, the Singaporean Diplomat Kishore Mahbubani discusses the threat–or more specifically, the non-threat–posed by China. According to the author, the communist nation “is not a threat to American security.” Mahbubani wonders why “an amazing number of Americans, even thoughtful, well-informed Americans, believe that China is on a mission to undermine American values.”
