Tom Pauken II's deep analysis of the hot topic and its solutions
Thomas W. Pauken II's book US vs China: from Trade War to Reciprocal Deal is probably one of the most insightful books this year on Sino-American relations. 
Compared to other books in your foreign policy vault, US vs China has valuable reflections on the ongoing economic conflict, including some predictions on the Trade War’s outcome.
Deep analysis based on more than ten years of work and life in China and exclusive inside stories
Similar books on the American-Chinese relationship are considered as propaganda tools used by various stakeholders. Fortunately, US vs China gives a balanced outlook on both nations and maintains a fair overview of the background that led to disputes between the two nations.
Before Pauken published the book, he created a community with millions of followers on Quora.com, where he interacts with both Chinese and U.S. readers about the US and China.
A number of western critics rarely or even never visited China before they wrote critiques on China. Pauken has a concise understanding of Chinese people and culture, not subjectively conceived the opinions out of negative reviews of western media.
The book contains many first-hand observations and materials not available in the western world.
For decades of years, the world has understood little about real China and its culture due to the language barrier. This is because compared to English, Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to master.
Additionally, there are not enough English articles and books written by Chinese for the English speaking world to learn about China, which has created opportunities for mainstream Western media to manipulate their audience. As I know personally, many Americans still think Chinese live in a Cultural Revolution-like environment and pine for America’s allegedly independent lifestyle. In reality, the skyscraper laden cities where citizens take high-speed trains with ease and use phones to efficiently make purchases are more advanced than many parts of the United States.
By contrast, the author has lived in China since 2010 and has worked in several Chinese companies, and has a deep understanding of the Chinese civilization and its political system. In the course of writing US vs China, Pauken adopted Chinese wisdom and principles that originated from Taoism and Sun Tzu's theories.
Wisdom from Ancient China continues to carry a huge impact on the daily thinking of the modern Chinese people. Recognizing Chinese traditions will help readers understand the policies of the current Chinese government. The present can simply not be understood without the past.
In Chapter 12, when he tried to describe Chinese ways of dealing with the Trade War, he wrote, "Many Chinese had learned to appreciate Taoist values, such as the yin and yang, opposition forces as a way of life, and the carrot and stick approach was easily understood by the Chinese as the road to restoring balance."
Pauken was an eyewitness to the rise of China from a close perspective, the analysis has a strong academic value for readers interested in the US-China Trade War. Such understanding contrasts with other commentators on the subject such as former Speaker of the U.S House Newt Gingrich who rarely visited China.
Providing neutral and positive solutions
Pauken encouraged the US and China to conclude the Trade War with a win-win agreement that will benefit both sides of the Pacific Rim. In conclusion, Pauken analyzed the history in a timeline since the Trade War and gave the leaders of the US and China positive suggestions and also pointed out their mistakes step by step.
He abandoned the "New Cold War" principle and instead embraced harmony. The Trade War is currently not good for anyone, including the United States
Conclusion:
Besides the above features, the book is also well-organized and the language is quite comprehensible for English as a second language readers.
If you are interested in the US-China relationship and Trade War and need an English author who's familiar with both sides, you cannot miss Pauken's new best seller!
