《zhōng guó中国tiǎo zhàn挑战》shū píng书评:zhōng中měi美guān xì关系de的bù tóng不同kàn fǎ看法
In the United States, some people are very friendly towards China and are called "Panda Huggers"; others are very cautious about China and are called "Dragon Slayers."
"Panda Huggers" believe that China-US relations will get better and better, while "Dragon Slayers" worry that the two countries might have conflicts.
Thomas Christensen wrote a book called "The China Challenge," in which he believes China is not America's enemy, and China-US relations are not a zero-sum game.
He thinks China is not as strong as the US yet, and China is more focused on its own economic development and domestic stability, making war with the US unlikely.
Christensen also says that the US does not need to treat China the same way it treated the Soviet Union.
Although China's economic and military strength is improving, there is still a gap compared to the US.
The US needs to maintain its power in Asia while also communicating well with China to reassure it.
The author believes that as long as both the US and China make efforts, conflicts between them can be avoided.
