BOOK DESCRIPTION<\/p>\n

Following the success<\/a> of The China Questions<\/a>, a new volume of insights from top China specialists explains key issues shaping today\u2019s US-China relationship.<\/p>\n

For decades Americans have described China as a rising power. That description no longer fits: China has already risen. What does this mean for the US-China relationship? For the global economy and international security? Seeking to clarify central issues, provide historical perspective, and demystify stereotypes, Maria Adele Carrai, Jennifer Rudolph, and Michael Szonyi and an exceptional group of China experts offer essential insights into the many dimensions of the world\u2019s most important bilateral relationship.<\/p>\n

Ranging across questions of security, economics, military development, climate change, public health, science and technology, education, and the worrying flashpoints of Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Xinjiang, these concise essays provide an authoritative look at key sites of friction and potential collaboration, with an eye on where the US-China relationship may go in the future. Readers hear from leading thinkers such as James Millward on Xinjiang, Elizabeth Economy on diplomacy, Shelley Rigger on Taiwan, and Winnie Yip and William Hsiao on public health.<\/p>\n

The voices included in The China Questions 2 recognize that the US-China relationship has changed, and that the policy of engagement needs to change too. \u2026<\/p>\n

REVIEWS<\/p>\n

\u201cA fresh, lively and insightful book that can be read by student and specialist alike in search of a synoptic view of the relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 John Delury, Global Asia<\/p>\n

\u201cA timely book. For general readers and students alike, these concise essays on critical aspects of the US-China relationship work very well. An impressive roster of authors collectively provides a broad overview of the many aspects of the relationship, going well beyond diplomacy and politics. The essays also work beautifully by themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2015\u00a0Odd Arne Westad, author of Empire and Righteous Nation: 600 Years of China-Korea Relations<\/p>\n

\u201cFocusing on the turbulent bilateral relationship between China and the United States, The China Questions 2 offers a wide range of accessible essays on topics from international relations to culture, in a tone that is lively and argumentative but always balanced. Overall, the book has a powerful message: the United States needs informed and clear-eyed engagement with China.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2015\u00a0Rana Mitter, author of China\u2019s Good War: How World War II Is Shaping a New Nationalism<\/p>\n

\u201cRequired reading. The authors are a who\u2019s who of American scholars on US\u2013China relations, and the topics include virtually everything that would be of concern to students, academics, and practitioners. At a time when there are too few books on the relationship generally, this fills a wide gap. The editors have my admiration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2015\u00a0Stephen A. Orlins, President of the National Committee on United States\u2013China Relations<\/p>\n
