Understanding the China threat
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"This book examines the contours of the US-China confrontation and its future trajectories. It delineates the two major causes of the friction in Sino-American relations - change in the balance of power in China's favor and the conflicting ideologies of the two states - and emphasizes why it is imperative for the US to hold on to its ideological principles. It demonstrates the ultimate and irreconcilable gap in the visions the two competitors have for international politics, and consequently why conflict - certainly cold, and very possibly hot - is inevitable. The authors also suggest measures which the US can adopt to sustain its leadership and deter China's ideology and vision for the future of global politics. A significant contribution to the study of Sino-American relations, the volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of international relations, foreign policy, US and Chinese Politics. It will be of great interest to think tanks, public policy professionals, as well as the interested general reader"--,Provided by publisher.
