environmental pressures it will soon face? In this excerpt from his
new book Us vs. Them: The Failure of Globalism,
geopolitical analyst Ian
Bremmer lays out the challenges that threaten China's
prosperity and explains why the rest of the world — including the
United States — is rooting for Beijing to overcome them.
