O Belfer Center da Harvard até organizou uma espécie de concurso para que os candidatos respondessem com trabalhos propondo as melhores estratégias para que os EUA respondessem ao "desafio da China", o me parece de uma loucura completa.
Enfim, os resultados foram apresentados e figuram em outra postagem neste blog:
China challenge to the US: Belfer Center prized papers

China Challenge Contest Win
Belfer Center, January 16, 2020
Since sending Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides’s Trap? to the publisher three years ago, I have been searching for ways to escape the dangerous dynamic that could lead Washington and Beijing to stumble into a catastrophic conflict neither side wants. At this point, I’ve identified nine potential “avenues of escape”—none yet so compelling that I’m ready to fully embrace it. About one thing, however, I am certain: there is no monopoly of strategic wisdom on this issue in Washington or in Beijing—or especially Cambridge!
So the research team suggested that we invite whomever had a good idea to contribute it. To do this, the Belfer Center created a contest. Using an assignment I give my students at Harvard Kennedy School challenging them to craft a grand strategy to meet the China challenge, we invited answers. (For details about the contest, click here). We received dozens of valuable submissions from across the world.
The winner of the competition was Robin Nataf, and we awarded three honorable mentions to Kazumi Hoshino-MacDonald, Patrick Kolesiak, and Jessica Robyn Jordan.
Each of their strategic options memos offer clues policymakers in Washington may find useful. I invite you to read the winning submissions here.
