The One-Hundred-Year Contest
— Can America Defeat Communism?
Description:... Zhong's latest book, The One Hundred-Year Contest -- Can America Defeat Communism? is an account of America's encounters with communism after its rise and the history of its frequent failures. America's encounter with communist headwinds began with the founding of the Soviet Union. In 1921, the Chinese Communist Party was founded and communist forces expanded into China. Successive presidents of the United States were ambiguous and vague in their understanding of the Chinese Communist Party, which led to the gradual expansion of communist power.
It has been over 100 years since the Bolsheviks' second revolution in Russia in 1917, when Lenin seized power. The United States, founded on democracy and freedom to fight against communism, is to blame for its misjudgment, which has led to a wave of communism that is still going strong today.
Why did communism bring such a profound disaster to humankind? Looking at it from a historical perspective, Zhong Wen presents the contest between the United States and communism over the past 100 years so that people can recognize the nature of communism. Today, China and the United States have entered the nuclear age. The results of nuclear war cannot be compared to the disasters brought to humankind by the Cold War and the hot wars.
