About the Book

An expert on China's global infrastructure expansion provides an urgent look at the battle to connect and control tomorrow's networks. From the ocean floor to outer space, China's Digital Silk Road aims to wire the world and rewrite the global order. Taking readers on a journey inside China's surveillance state, rural America, and Africa's megacities, Jonathan Hillman reveals what China's expanding digital footprint looks like on the ground and explores the economic and strategic consequences of a future in which all routers lead to Beijing. If China becomes the world's chief network operator, it could reap a commercial and strategic windfall, including many advantages currently enjoyed by the United States. It could reshape global flows of data, finance, and communications to reflect its interests. It could possess an unrivaled understanding of market movements, the deliberations of foreign competitors, and the lives of countless individuals enmeshed in its networks. However, China's digital dominance is not yet assured. Beijing remains vulnerable in several key dimensions, the United States and its allies have an opportunity to offer better alternatives, and the rest of the world has a voice. But winning the battle for tomorrow's networks will require the United States to innovate and take greater risks in emerging markets. Networks create large winners, and this is a contest America cannot afford to lose.

Review :
"China's Belt and Road is reshaping the world's economic and strategic landscape, and in this sweeping and thought-provoking tour, Jonathan Hillman reveals the gaps between Beijing's grand rhetoric and ground reality. Required reading for the C-Suite and the Situation Room." - Stephen J. Hadley, former U.S. National Security Advisor, on The Emperor's New Road "An outstanding book by one of the most interesting and original thinkers about the rise of China, the Belt and Road Initiative and what both mean for the rest of the world. Filled with insights into the changing world of the 21st century--essential reading." - Peter Frankopan, author of the international bestseller The Silk Roads: A New History of the World on The Emperor's New Road "Jonathan Hillman offers an insightful contribution that helps cut through the noise on one of the most important projects of China's foreign policy." - Graham Allison, Harvard Kennedy School of Government, on The Emperor's New Road "Essential reading for understanding one of the greatest geostrategic challenges of our age: China's technological rise and global push to dominate the vital systems upon which militaries, markets, and modern societies depend." - Admiral James Stavridis, sixteenth supreme allied commander at NATO and author of 2034: A Novel of the Next World War "An urgent, engaging look at China's push to build digital influence and leverage, project by project, as it makes a play for global dominance." - Ambassador Jon M. Huntsman Jr. "A probing look at China's quest to dominate the technosphere. . . . Hillman refutes the notion that with internet connectivity comes increased freedom. . . . A cogent warning that the West has much work to do if it is to contain Chinese expansion into cyberspace." - Kirkus Reviews "Fine prose and telling case studies...take the time to dive deep into this well-written account of the biggest technological transformation of the 21st century." - Financial Times "For all the hype and hand-wringing over how the [Belt and Road] could usher in the Chinese century, Hillman's engaging mix of high-level analysis and fieldwork in more than a dozen countries paints a much more nuanced picture." - Keith Johnson, Foreign Policy, on The Emperor's New Road "Hillman's book provides a nuanced view of world affairs . . . a rewarding eye-opener for anyone interested in the rise of China and its consequences for the United States and all nations." - Walter Clemens, New York Journal of Books, on The Emperor's New Road "The Emperor's New Road is a small book that shows the industriousness of a big one: a complex blend of travel, history, politics, and economics about the greatest long-running geopolitical story of our time, China's new Silk Road. It shows the big picture as well as the vital, ground-level details." - Robert D. Kaplan, author of The Return of Marco Polo's World and The Revenge of Geography on The Emperor's New Road "Hillman warns against complacency and underestimating China's technological ambitions. His writing is lucid and nuanced, and his warning that America needs to wake up is timely and compelling." - Booklist "The Digital Silk Road traces China's rise as a digital superpower and provides a sobering analysis of its challenge to American technological leadership, economic competitiveness, and national security. Jonathan Hillman shows how private entrepreneurship and government support have enabled a technologically backward country to acquire leading-edge communications capabilities long thought to be the exclusive preserve of rich democracies. This important and well-crafted book should be required reading for American policy makers and industry leaders." - Minxin Pei, Tom and Margot Pritzker '72 Professor of Government and George R. Roberts Fellow, Claremont McKenna College "A timely and fascinating account of how China is shaping the digital universe, redrawing the connections that carry data from the ocean floor to outer space, and harnessing the means by which both commerce and warfare will increasingly be conducted, framed in a century-defining contest for control." - Ambassador Charlene Barshefsky, former U.S. trade representative
