China has emerged as a massive new world power. But how should the West - and the United States in particular - respond? According to strategic expert Hugh White, this could be the key geopolitical question of the century. In The China Choice, White outlines the three choices facing the USA: it can compete, share power, or concede leadership in Asia. Weighing the huge difficulties of accepting China as an equal with the immense cost and risks of making it an enemy, White contends that America must share power with China in Asia because the alternative is too terrible to contemplate. But the choice is both difficult and momentous. The China Choice confronts it and considers the options for the Asian century ahead.
