Political scientist Aaron L. Friedberg argues that our nation's leaders are failing to act expeditiously enough to counter China's growing strength. He explains how the United States and China define their goals and reveals the strategies each is now employing to achieve its ends. Friedberg demonstrates that the ultimate aim of Chinese policymakers is to "win without fighting," displacing the United States as the leading power in Asia while avoiding direct confrontation. The United States, on the other hand, sends misleading signals about our commitments and resolve, putting us at risk for a war that might otherwise have been avoided. A much-needed wake-up call to U.S. leaders and policymakers, this is a compelling interpretation of a rivalry that will go far to determine the shape of the 21st century.--From publisher description. 000434651 650_0 $$aGeopolitics$$zAsia. 000434651 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$zChina. 000434651 651_0 $$aChina$$xForeign relations$$zUnited States. 000434651 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$zAsia. 000434651 651_0 $$aAsia$$xForeign relations$$zUnited States. 000434651 651_0 $$aChina$$xForeign relations$$zAsia. 000434651 651_0 $$aAsia$$xForeign relations$$zChina. 000434651 651_0 $$aAsia$$xStrategic aspects. 000434651 651_0 $$aAsia$$xForeign relations$$y21st century. 000434651 85200 $$bgen$$hJZ1480.A57$$iC6$$i2011 000434651 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:434651$$pGLOBAL_SET 000434651 980__ $$aBIB 000434651 980__ $$aBOOK
