Sino-American strategic relations: from partners to competitors

Sino-American strategic relations: from partners to competitors - 2003
Entered on 07/APR/2003
This article suggests that the "constructive strategic partnership" advocated by the Clinton administration is as unrealistic a description of Sino-American relations as the "hostile challenge of a dangerous adversary" propounded by Clinton's critics. More realistically, it suggests, China and America are strategic competitors of unequal power with an ambiguous relationship containing elements of conflict, coexistence, and cooperation. Includes analysis of China's military capability and modernisation (with a table about Ballistic Missiles), military exchanges and confidence building measures, and counterproliferation and arms control measures.
