Summary

The People's Republic of China has emerged as a significant regional superpower. At best, China will be an economic challenge to the United States; at worst, the PRC will be a very real national security threat. Dillon persuasively argues that a Cold War mentality cannot work against China. The U.S. must instead end its appeasement of China and craft an ambitious new geostrategic plan.
