LATEST RELEASE FROM DENNIS UNKOVIC
China's strength may be more illusion than reality.
Nearly four decades of meteoric economic growth have convinced many in the West that modern China is indeed an invincible regime, and that Xi’s grand plan will come to fruition. Closer examination reveals that China is not invulnerable, but in fact is far more fragile than it outwardly appears.
If Russia had not been communist, there would have been no Cold War, but because Russia was communist—systemically stupid—it was bound to lose that war. Dennis Unkovic’s much-needed message punctures the myth of China’s inexorable ascent: Because China is a Leninist party-state it is dangerous—and doomed to inefficiencies and irrationalities that will sap its vigor.

In this insightful analysis of our most formidable adversary, Dennis Unkovic traces China's remarkable transition from a backward agricultural country to an economic and military colossus. That swift transition threatens the current world order and poses a direct threat to the US. With dramatic use of his MAXTRENDS®, Unkovic carefully outlines China’s vulnerabilities. He makes it clear that China is not invincible and shows how the West can prevail. This book should be required reading at all our military academies.

Is Xi Jinping the world’s most powerful leader? Is this destined to become “China’s Century”? In his book, Unkovic answers these critical questions and describes the serious challenges (MAXTRENDS®) facing Xi Jinping and the CCP leadership. Anyone who wants to clearly understand the real truth about China and its global ambitions should definitely read this engaging—and at times frightening—book.
