Mutual Security Through Cooperation: Sino-American Military-to-Military Relations in the Global War on Terrorism
Abstract
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have placed the United States and the People's Republic of China at an interesting crossroad in Sino-American military relations. Recognizing the profound affect of trans-national terrorism on each of their nations, both countries are positioned to potentially embark on a cooperative military relationship in the global war on terrorism. Although Sino-American military relations have remained largely strained over the last decade, military cooperation in the global war on terrorism can provide the means to achieve the end state of a healthy military exchange between the two world powers. China's military will continue to grow and improve, the United States is at a point in time where it must make the choice to be an active participant in the direction that China's military develops.
