The Impact on World Security of People's Republic of China's Recent Rise in Power

Abstract

The recent rise in power of Communist China has generated great concern in many nations of the Free World and Communist Block as well. The impact on world peace and security has been significant primarily because of a possible power balance shift among nations. A brief historical, political, and economic background of China is given. Current assets and constraints are examined. Basic objectives of the People's Republic of China and related threats are reviewed. There is little doubt that Red China will, in due time, become a great and influential power. A policy of negotiation, mutual understanding, and improved relations with Communist China will best serve the interests of the United States and world peace.
