China: The Balance Sheet - Issue Snapshots
April 2006
Abstract
China is becoming one of the most powerful countries in the world: too big to disregard and too critical to misread. As the 21st Century unfolds, the stakes have never been higher nor the need greater to get U.S. policy toward China right, and yet there is often more heat than light in the U.S. debate about China.
To address this pivotal issue, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the Institute for International Economics (IIE) have launched a joint multi-year project that brings together leading specialists to examine the key questions, uncover the pertinent facts, and analyze the dynamics underpinning China's domestic transformation and emergence as an international power—as well as its implications for the United States and the world.
China: The Balance Sheet the project's initial publication, provides the public and policymakers alike with comprehensive, authoritative and accessible analysis to have an informed debate and intelligent policy response to the challenge of a rising China — the world's emerging superpower.
