You Will Be Assimilated
Book • 2020
David P. Goldman examines how China's use of infrastructure, trade, technology, and monetary influence aims to expand its sphere of economic and geopolitical influence worldwide.
He argues that Beijing pursues a pragmatic, civilizational strategy—building dependencies through investment and digital infrastructure rather than exporting a political ideology.
The book explores China's advances in AI, telecommunications, manufacturing, and monetary arrangements that could challenge Western dominance.
Goldman discusses demographic trends, education, and industrial policy that underpin China's long-term ambitions and potential vulnerabilities.
He warns about the strategic implications for the United States and the West while outlining how China might assimilate parts of the global south into its economic orbit.
