At this moment, Americans regard China as a major threat, both economically and strategically, while Chinese regard the US as determined to contain China and impede its development. Tensions between the two countries remain high: human rights, trade, Taiwan, the South China Sea, military budgets. Yet, in spite of all these points of contention, the search for common ground through diplomatic engagement goes on as both countries’ leaders recognize that constant friction can have calamitous consequences. These brief, engaging essays bring students of international affairs up to speed on what is happening inside China and on China’s role in the world. Gurtov’s expert assessments illuminate important developments in Chinese politics and society, notions of national security, and the link in Chinese thinking between security and economic development. Primary source documents at the end of each chapter provide students with real-world policy context.
