Friend, Foe, or Fallacy

Does China’s rise strengthen the existing international order or overturn it?  How we perceive and react to China’s rise will have dramatic consequences for Sino-American relations and China’s role in the world. Whether we see Beijing as a friend, a challenger, or whether those labels engender a false choice is critical to how we develop the right foreign policy for a rising China.

Watch Ely Ratner and Steven Weber in their discussion on how we should approach U.S.–China relations during this period of great power transitions.
