Abstract:

China and the United States share similar interests in trade but need an agreed set of rules. They also share common interests in ensuring a peaceful international system but have very different approaches to how individuals are treated in that system. And their different approaches to territory and sovereignty require that the U.S. continue to maintain a strong military.
