An Awakening China: Rabbit or Tiger.

Abstract

China is in the process of modernizing and expanding across the spectrum of national power (i.e., economic, diplomatic, information and militarily). This awakening is causing concern amongst the nations of the region. Most regional nations see China as the most likely threat to regional stability in the future and certainly will cause a shift in the regional balance of power. How she acts as she emerges will be determined by what she sees. The United States, as the only super power, is seen as the primary country that can influence the environment that surrounds China's metamorphosis. Accordingly, the United States needs to develop strategies that encourage China to emerge as a cooperative nation following the internationally accepted norms that govern actions vice the next evil empire.
