N2  - This article examines China's emerging nuclear capability and its strategic consequences.  With its ability to deploy, for the first time, a secure second-strike capability in the next decade, this will critically affect the future Sino-U.S. relationship.  This article also suggests that the two countries should engage in strategic dialogues to discuss the proper role of nuclear deterrence in their bilateral relationship.  This will help prevent a nuclear arms race that may worsen the security dilemma between the two most important countries in the twenty-first century
