Anxiety about China's growing military capabilities to threaten
Taiwan has induced alarm in Washington about whether the United
States remains capable of deterring attempts to seize Taiwan by
force. This alarm has fed American impulses to alter longstanding
policy, and to increasingly view challenges confronting Taiwan
through a military lens. While Taiwan clearly is under growing
military threat, it also is facing a simultaneous and intensifying
Chinese political campaign to wear down the will of the Taiwan
people. This latter line of effort receives less attention, but
left unaddressed, has the potential to do far more damage to
American interests. This book rightsizes the risks confronting
Taiwan by taking a holistic view of China's national ambitions and
Taiwan's role in them, China's strategies for pursuing unification
with Taiwan, and America's most effective responses. Contrary to
many other books on the market, the authors make the case for why
conflict in the Taiwan Strait is not preordained, and in fact, it
would be strategic folly for the United States to conclude that
conflict is inescapable. Hass, Bush, and Glaser argue that the
center of gravity for determining the future of Taiwan is the will
of Taiwan's 23 million people. American policy should focus on
their hopes and fears if the United States wishes to maintain
influence over events in the Taiwan Strait. This calls for American
resoluteness and steadiness of purpose in fortifying Taiwan's
economic dynamism, political autonomy, military preparedness, and
dignity and respect on the world stage. Maintaining credible
military deterrence is the minimum threshold, not the measure of
success. U.S.-Taiwan Relations will be an invaluable resource for
students, researchers, and journalists to understand this critical
moment in U.S. foreign policy.

The global implications of China's rise as a global actorIn 2005, a
senior official in the George W. Bush administration expressed the
hope that China would emerge as a "responsible stakeholder" on the
world stage. A dozen years later, the Trump administration
dramatically shifted course, instead calling China a "strategic
competitor" whose actions routinely threaten U.S. interests. Both
assessments reflected an underlying truth: China is no longer just
a "rising" power. It has emerged as a truly global actor, both
economically and militarily. Every day its actions affect nearly
every region and every major issue, from climate change to trade,
from conflict in troubled lands to competition over rules that will
govern the uses of emerging technologies. To better address the
implications of China's new status, both for American policy and
for the broader international order, Brookings scholars conducted
research over the past two years, culminating in a project: Global
China: Assessing China's Growing Role in the World. The project is
intended to furnish policy makers and the public with hard facts
and deep insights for understanding China's regional and global
ambitions. The initiative draws not only on Brookings's deep bench
of China and East Asia experts, but also on the tremendous breadth
of the institution's security, strategy, regional studies,
technological, and economic development experts. Areas of focus
include the evolution of China's domestic institutions; great power
relations; the emergence of critical technologies; Asian security;
China's influence in key regions beyond Asia; and China's impact on
global governance and norms. Global China: Assessing China's
Growing Role in the World provides the most current, broad-scope,
and fact-based assessment of the implications of China's rise for
the United States and the rest of the world.
An examination of how America can strengthen its approach to China
by building on its existing advantages "This book is essential
reading for anyone interested in understanding how the United
States can renew its advantages in its competition with
China."-Ambassador Susan E. Rice, former U.S. National Security
Advisor "Ryan Hass has provided an indispensable and timely
contribution to understanding our critical path forward with
China."-Jon M. Huntsman, former U.S. Ambassador to China and Russia
Ryan Hass charts a path forward in America's relationship and
rivalry with China, a path rooted in the relative advantages
America already possesses. Hass argues that while competition will
remain the defining trait of the relationship, both countries will
continue to be impacted-for good or ill-by their capacity to
coordinate on common challenges that neither can solve on its own,
such as pandemic disease, global economic development, climate
change, and nuclear nonproliferation. Hass makes the case that the
United States will have greater success in outpacing China
economically and outshining it in questions of governance if it
focuses more on improving its condition at home than on trying to
impede Chinese initiatives. He argues that the task at hand is not
to stand in China's way and, in the process, turn a rising power
into an enemy but to renew America's advantages in its competition
with China.
