“The China Challenge”
In case you are wondering whether to buy Thomas Christensen’s new book The China Challenge: Shaping the Choices of a Rising Power, you can watch this book talk that Professor Christensen gave in New York. In many ways, Christensen offers the most articulate and current argument for the conventional wisdom of China policy. He does not demonstrate the pessimism of some scholars, who see an inevitable clash or that a tipping point has been reached, but believes there are ways for the United States and China to cooperate, compete, and coexist.
