Abstract:

China is building a military capable of projecting power throughout Asia and the Western Pacific and could become Asia's economic, trade, political security, and human rights rule-maker as the United States recedes from the region. Washington needs to make fundamental changes in its Asia policy and engage allies and friendly countries in the region to meet this challenge.
