Dragon on Terrorism: Assessing China\u27s Tactical Gains and Strategic Losses Post-September 11

The U.S. relationship with China and the global war on terrorism are the two most significant strategic challenges faced by the Bush administration. Both are vital and complex; the way the administration manages them will shape American security for many years. While there is a growing literature on both key strategic issues, little analysis has been done on the intersection of the two. This monograph fills the gap as the author assesses how the war on terrorism has affected China. He concludes that the war on terrorism radically altered the Asian strategic environment in ways that negated China\u27s foreign policy gains of the last decade and undermined its image as Asia\u27s only great power. He then offers a range of recommendations for a more stable relationship with China.https://press.armywarcollege.edu/monographs/1811/thumbnail.jp
