The China Challenge: Shaping the Choices of a Rising Power

About

The China Challenge shows why China is nowhere near powerful enough to be considered a global "peer competitor" of the United States, but it is already strong enough to destabilize East Asia and to influence economic and political affairs worldwide.

Despite China's impressive achievements, the Chinese Communist Party faces enormous challenges. Princeton Professor Thomas Christensen shows how nationalism and the threat of domestic instability influence the party's decisions on issues like maritime sovereignty disputes, global financial management, control of the Internet, climate change, and policies toward Taiwan and Hong Kong.
