Le relazioni Cina-Usa. Un difficile equilibrio

213

Settembre-Dicembre 2006

Anno LXXI    n. 3

Chinese economic and military power could pose a significant challenge to the strategic status quo in East Asia and to US security interests in the international system.However a new global paradigm is at present working: the Chinese and US economies are increasingly interwined, with a precarious interdipendence between super-debtor( US ) and super-creditor(RPC).  The relationship between the US and PRC will be marked by convergence towards deepening cooperation and stability or by deterioration, leading to increasingly open competition. The conclusion is that the US should continue to encourage China’s active participation in the global economy and multilateral international institutions.
