"Facing China: The Prospect for War and Peace" by Jean-Pierre Cabestan is a book that argues that China's increasing capabilities and ambitions pose a threat to international peace and stability. The book discusses the prospects of China getting into a war in various regions, such as the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea, and with Japan and India. While the book lacks analytic balance and rigor, it represents the prevailing Western narrative on China's rise and its perceived threat. However, the book fails to engage with alternative perspectives and does not consider China's concerns and views. [Extracted from the article]
