China’s Master Race for World Domination by Jack Cox Williams opens with President Xi Jinping serving as a historical and fictional character. He is occupied with China having long-term dominance as opposed to just a short-term military victory. He favors technological leverage and psychological influence over warfare. He also seems to have a chief concern across the water, who goes by the name Levi Salinger, an American operative heading a secretive U.S. organization called “the Committee.” Readers are in for a ride as China pulls out its silver bullet: cognitive enhancement and genetic manipulation. These hint at ethical lines that have already been crossed, leading to a number of dangers that lie ahead.
