Its most consequential challenge is the rise of China, which increasingly has the capability to deny the U.S. access to areas of vital national interest and to undermine alliances that have underpinned regional stability for over half a century. Thus, the time is right for the U.S. to adopt a long-term strategy for dealing with China; one that includes but is not limited to military means, and that fully includes U.S. allies in the region. This book uses the theory and practice of peacetime great-power strategic competition to derive recommendations for just such a strategy. After examining the theory of peacetime strategic competition, it assesses the U.S.-China military balance in depth, considers the role of America's allies in the region, and explores strategies that the U.S could adopt to improve its strategic position relative to China over the long term. 606 $aNational security$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aStrategic rivalries (World politics)$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zChina$vCongresses 607 $aChina$xForeign relations$zUnited States$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y21st century$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aStrategic rivalries (World politics) 676 $a327.7305109/05 701 $aMahnken$b Thomas G.$f1965-$01039422 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461765503321 996 $aCompetitive strategies for the 21st century$92478406 997 $aUNINA
