Summary

"Does the rise of China necessarily threaten the United States? Can two great nations ever coexist peacefully? In this collection of original essays, some of the most distinguished Chinese and American scholars work together to create a blueprint for a new relationship between the U.S. and China." "Over several years, these scholars have engaged in a major research project, sponsored by the China-U.S. Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), to address the major bilateral and global issues the two countries face. This group of experts in politics, economics, international security, and environmental studies set out to establish consensus on potentially contentious issues and elaborate areas where the two nations can work together to achieve common goals." "Featuring essays on global warming, trade relations, Taiwan, democratization, WMDs, and bilateral humanitarian intervention, Power and Restraint finds that China and the United States can exist side by side and establish mutual understanding to better cope with common challenges."--BOOK JACKET.
