Abstract

Stuart Rollo's "Terminus" offers a historical analysis of US westward expansion and its impact on US-China relations, highlighting the shift in power dynamics between the two nations. Rollo argues that China has emerged as an empire while the US is seen as a "shrinking exploitative hegemony." The book delves into the economic and military strategies employed by both countries, warning of a potential conflict as American policy-makers seek to regain past glory. Rollo advocates for a policy of coexistence between the US and China to avoid full-scale war and the creation of a Sinocentric global imperialism. [Extracted from the article]
