- Synopsis
- The explosive, behind-the-scenes story of Donald Trump&’s high-stakes confrontation with Beijing, from an award-winning Washington Post columnist and peerless observer of the U.S.–China relationship There was no calm before the storm. Donald Trump&’s surprise electoral victory shattered the fragile understanding between Washington and Beijing, putting the most important relationship of the twenty-first century in the hands of a novice who had bitterly attacked China from the campaign trail. Almost as soon as he entered office, Trump brought to a boil the long-simmering rivalry between the two countries, while also striking up a &“friendship&” with Chinese president Xi Jinping — whose manipulations of his American counterpart would undermine the White House&’s already disjointed response to the historic challenge of a rising China. All the while, Trump&’s own officials fought to steer U.S. policy from within. By the time the COVID-19 pandemic erupted in Wuhan, Trump&’s love-hate relationship with Xi had sparked a trade war, while Xi&’s aggression had pushed the world to the brink of a new Cold War. But their quarrel had also forced a long-overdue reckoning within the United States over China&’s audacious foreign-influence operations, horrific human rights abuses, and creeping digital despotism. Ironically, this awakening was one of the biggest foreign-policy victories of Trump&’s fractious term in office. Filled with shocking revelations drawn from Josh Rogin&’s unparalleled access to top U.S. officials from the White House and deep within the country&’s foreign policy machine, Chaos Under Heaven reveals an administration at war with itself during perhaps our most urgent hour.
