U.S.-China Relations in the "Asia-Pacific" Century
by S. Mahmud Ali
"In 1989, the tacit Cold War alliance between the United States and China collapsed, making the 1990s a decade of turbulent transition. Both states sought to build predictable and benign relations, but their efforts were repeatedly frustrated by dramatic incidents with hostile connotations, divided domestic opinion, and weak Leadership. By the beginning of this "Asia-Pacific" century, public pronouncements focused on cooperation while military services and intelligence agencies prepared for war. The United States has countered China's economic growth, military prowess, and technological sophistication with alliance-building efforts, forming strategic triangles, and deploying forces. But the final outcome of these endeavors remains uncertain."--Jacket.
