"China's rapid military and economic growth has fueled a steady stream of analysis and debate about the PRC's motivations and objectives regarding the United States.

Respected analyst Robert Sutter draws on his extensive experience in the region to explore the current debate on China's rise and its meaning for U.S. interests by examining in detail China's current and historical relations with the key countries of Asia."--Jacket.
