Description
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. This text serves as a brief but factual and engaging readings to bring students of international affairs up to speed on what is happening inside China and in China's international relations. The readings reflect objective assessments of important developments in Chinese politics and society, notions of national security, and the link in Chinese thinking between security and economic development.
