Though a US - China conflict is far from inevitable, major tensions
are building in the Asia-Pacific region. These strains are the
result of historical enmity, cultural divergence, and deep
ideological estrangement, not to mention apprehensions fueled by
geopolitical competition and the closely related "security
dilemma." Despite worrying signs of intensifying rivalry between
Washington and Beijing, few observers have provided concrete
paradigms to lead this troubled relationship away from disaster.
Meeting China Halfway: How to Defuse the Emerging US-China Rivalry
is dramatically different from any other book about US-China
relations. Lyle J. Goldstein's explicit focus in almost every
chapter is on laying bare both US and Chinese perceptions of where
their interests clash and proposing new paths to ease bilateral
tensions through compromise. Each chapter contains a "cooperation
spiral" - the opposite of an escalation spiral - to illustrate the
policy proposals. Goldstein not only parses findings from the
latest American scholarship but also breaks new ground by analyzing
hundreds of Chinese-language sources, including military
publications, never before evaluated by Western experts. Goldstein
makes one hundred policy proposals over the course of this book,
not because these are the only solutions to arresting the alarming
course toward conflict, but rather to inaugurate a genuine debate
regarding cooperative policy solutions to the most vexing problems
in US-China relations.
