.... That said, ''The Coming Conflict With China'' usefully, if inadvertently, illuminates the extent to which American and Chinese complaints and fears constitute a mirror image of what alarms the other. The fact that China is seeking hegemony in Asia is presented as ominous, but the United States already enjoys such hegemony, in Asia and everywhere else. It is charged that China is building up a formidable military machine, but America's is already overwhelmingly formidable. Alarm is expressed that China can now strike at the American mainland, but the United States has long targeted nuclear missiles on China. And so on. The point is not that there is any kind of moral equivalence between the United States and China, but that we should recognize that the kinds of things that frighten and cause resentment in us might have similar effects on the Chinese. ....
From two former Beijing bureau chiefs with long experience in Asian affairs comes a clear-eyed and uncompromising look at the potentially disastrous collision course now taking shape in U.S.-China relations. Aggressively anti-American, China has nuclear weapons deliberately targeted at the United States. Recent confrontations between Chinese and American military forces indicate that China may try to take Taiwan by force. While our trade deficit rises to unprecedented heights, the powerful new china lobby shapes U.S. policy with the support of American businesses eager for a share of its booming markets. The Coming Conflict with China is required reading for those who wish to understand the tense global rivalry that is already shaping the course of the 21st century.
