The Geography of Chinese Power | Foreign Affairs - 1 views

  •  
    This article is a fascinating exploration into the new era of Chinese influence, examining both China's meteoric rise to economic maturity and its continued military advancements. Indeed, looking at the rising role of China in the global military world, it is hard not to foresee a conflict looming, whether it be small or on a larger scale, with the Asian giant in the future. Despite our economy being linked with China's, the possibility for a trade war, which could escalate into something more serious, is a possibility that cannot be forgotten by US policymakers. Ultimately, China's rulership is unstable, revealing the most dangerous aspect of the nation's power, and the greatest threat posed to United States' interests in the future.
