This book traces the evolution of post-Cold War relations between China and the U.S., focusing on the two nation's conflicting efforts to achieve economic growth and technological sophistication. It is comprehensive: the book adopts a dual approach to the post-Cold War evolution of US-Chinese security relations, with equal emphasis on the thinking in Beijing and Washington, and on the dialectic nature of interaction, rather than focusing on either party exclusively. It is of contemporary relevance: the book sheds new lights on the current complex relations between the US and China.
