Comprehensive Engagement With China

Abstract

China's economic rise is causing an increase of potential conflict with U.S. interests. Reactions from the U.S. administration and Congress to China's quest for markets resources and increased military growth have ranged from concern to alarm. These actions are viewed as overreactions and hypocritical in China. Given China's increased sophistication in applying its evolving national power as in the U.S.-Chinese cooperation in dealing with Iran and North Korea and the interdependent nature of the global economy the U.S.-China relationship can not afford to recede back to the post-Tiananmen level. Now that China is becoming an increasingly open society and an important economic partner the U.S. should develop a strategic relationship with China that anticipates the internal and external effects of China's relentless growth. This SRP will use the elements of national power as the basis to recommend a strategic approach for the future of the U.S.-China relationship.
