书籍介绍
这本书最锋利的地方，不在于它得出的结论，而在于它逼问的方式。作者以新加坡驻联合国前大使的身份，把'西方'当作一个整体来审视——不是赞美或批判某个具体政策，而是追问：当一个文明长期占据世界中心，是否还能清醒地认识自己的位置正在松动？读者反复提到的，正是这种'冷 shower'式的冒犯感：它不抚慰、不迎合，反而直言西方的傲慢、偏见与自我欺骗。它适合那些厌倦了'西方必胜'叙事、又拒绝简单'东升西降'口号的人。它提供的不是答案，而是一个 uncomfortable 的视角——让你重新掂量'理所当然'四字背后，究竟有多少是事实，有多少只是习惯。

用户评论
Like a cold shower, 作者一直贯彻李光耀思想：diversity & competition are goooood! 东西斗争无意义，只能制作更多痛苦，这一点也没错。
Good idea! But the hawkish West surely won't accept.
书很浅显，多看时政觉得没太多新的东西。而且感觉作者很阴险。
Simple yet astute. Sound pretty obvious but it’s unbelievable that such logical viewpoints are (still) absent from strategic debates in the west.
欧洲最大的敌人是移民，美国最大的敌人是中国。
come on, Dr, do you really think that a west full of ignorance, hubris and prejudice will take your insightful advices of making the rest and finnally itself better off as a gift? know thy self, know thy enemies. unfortunately to the west, full of hypocritical elite and naiive common people, it can do neither.
incisive, strategic, visionary
