China and the United States Should Seek New Balance of World Power
Zhao Suisheng
Abstract: China's rise has forced the leaders in both Beijing and Washington to make a strategic response to their possible confrontation globally and particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. The Asia-Pacific region has become a test field for China and the United States to explore the possibility of building a new type of great-power relationship for the 21st century. Indeed, US-China competition could take their relationship into the pathway of rivalry in spite of the endorsement of the new type of great power relationship by leaders in both Beijing and Washington. Given the increasing interdependence between the two countries, any unilateral US attempts to contain China are likely to be sporadic at best. As a result, these two countries have to find a realist approach to work together and construct a regional order based on balance of power to avoid the so-called historic inevitability of the structural conflict between a rising power and incumbent superpower.
Keywords: China's rise, a new type of great power relations, strategic rebalance, balance of power
