Indirect Rise of Power: China's Economic and Military Growth and its Changing Relationship with the United States

Abstract

Relationships between China and other nations are also becoming increasingly important to the US. As the Chinese economy has grown to become the second largest in the world, China now has acquired economic influence on nations around the world. As China has become more involved in the global economic community, its assertiveness has been more apparent. This growing influence raises concerns for the US and other regional powers as to the future stability of China and has led to an increasing pattern of distrust between the two nations. Even with its highly valued economic relationships with the US, the unknowns over China's nuclear policy, secrecy of its government operations, and modernization of its military raise suspicion on behalf of the US and PRC's regional neighbors about the motivations of the country.
