Course detail: The Great Struggle for World Dominance

Following WWII the US became the world leader promoting the values of democracy, the rule of law, and human rights. Now China is challenging this, asking the question, "Why should the U.S. be the arbitrator of human rights?" Besides using slave labor, China also wants control of Taiwan, the South Pacific Ocean, and steals USD technology. This is coupled with the fact that the U.S. is dependent of Chinese goods and China's economy is dependent on selling goods to the U.S. Other issues such as the Ukraine war and climate change further complicate the U.S./China relationship.
