¡@Description
China¡¦s remarkable growth has the potential to expand the size of the global economy, and with it global wealth, more than any other nation in history. However, China could also cause huge competitive problems for the United States and other more advanced countries. Or China could collapse under the weight of its own domestic challenges. Similarly, China¡¦s more proactive global engagement and rapid modernization of its military may lead it to become a responsible and productive global citizen. Or China could use its newfound influence to confront and undermine the interests of the United States and other powers, and challenge international norms. Will China¡¦s rise result in a net economic and security benefit, or will it be a zero-sum game?
CHINA: THE BALANCE SHEET is the fullest attempt to understand and describe the most important emerging power in the world.
