Understanding and Managing Great Power Competition with China

What is driving the strategic competition between Beijing and Washington?

by George Beebe

Tensions between the United States and China are escalating in what appears to be a renewal of strategic “great power competition.” But policymakers and analysts disagree on whether the two countries are engaged in a situational contest for power and wealth or an existential ideological struggle. What is driving the strategic competition between Beijing and Washington, and what is the nature and scope of that competition? How should the United States approach its relationship—and its rivalry—with China going forward? Experts Aaron Friedberg, Ali Wyne, and Paul Heer discuss these questions and more in a panel moderated by George Beebe.
