China - The Rising Dragon: How Should the U.S. Respond?

Abstract

A qualitative assessment/analysis of where China is headed with its national strategy, and how the U.S. should respond. This Strategic Research Project provides insight into China's diplomatic, information, military and economic intentions. A case study specific to China's expansion in Africa is used as a basis for the conclusion that China is primarily motivated by economic imperatives. The paper provides two options for the U.S: to compete with or cooperate with China, and argues that it is in the best interest of the United States to pursue a cooperative arrangement with the rising dragon.
