GDA Book Club: November 2021 "The Emperor's New Road: China and the Project of the Century" By Jonathan E. Hillman

Post by Johnny Paratrooper »

The Next Book for GDA students, and anyone else interested, is "The Emperor's New Road: China and the Project of the Century" By Jonathan E. Hillman

I have started this reading early because I am doing some very tedious work lately: Masonry, Stucco, and Stone work.
Audiobooks have a nice pace when listened to during this type of labor.

For the Students of GDA, This will not be discussed until next month. But this is a truly incredible read. The size and scale of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and One Belt One Road (OBOR of 2013) is literally mind blowing. As a construction worker and fan of all things heavy equipment, materials, and tools I am amazed at the work we can accomplish.

The Chinese and Russians are really playing a different game.
To quote the book...

As the scholar Eric McGlinchey puts it, “China is playing Monopoly. Russia is playing Risk. The United States is playing Solitaire.
"As Iron Sharpens Iron, So One Man Sharpens Another " Proverbs 27:17
