U.S. Relations with China

June 30, 2008

Taken as a whole, China policy can best be seen as a toolkit for the United States to use in shaping a positive role for Beijing, while hedging against the possibility that China’s leaders will instead pursue a negative path. Center for Strategic and International Studies senior advisor Michael Green says it’s likely that our next President will work diligently to maintain good relations with China.
