The book as I have expected is literally the Munk debate transcript. Both the pro and con sides have presented quite a few persuasive and logical arguments but I was convinced more by the ‘Con' side, especially with Fareed Zakaria's points except when he positively debated the US hegemony. Henry Kissinger's arguments were decent at best. But for David Li, I think his sense of truth is very much distilled from the real situation in China and often Idealistic, Niall Ferguson was worst here IMO.
4 out of 5 stars cause the debate was very entertaining (considering I generally don't like to watch on-screen debates except some)and educational especially since I was very much ignorant about the dispute on the south china sea between China, Japan and Vietnam.
