Contested Primacy in the Western Pacific: China's Rise and the Future of U.S. Power Projection
Summary
Despite their disagreements, proponents of deep engagement and offshore balancing share an optimistic but unrealistic assessment regarding the durability of U.S. military dominance. China’s antiaccess/area denial strategy and conventional precision-strike capabilities are already undermining the United States’ military dominance in East Asia. The United States will need to adapt its military to meet this challenge.
The author has written a policy brief based on this article, "Time to Worry about China's Military Rise."
