About China Balance Sheet




Complex. Contradictory. Confusing. China’s emergence on the world stage will be one of the most momentous – and challenging – developments of the 21st century.

How China will develop – both internally and in its relations with the rest of the world – remains a great unknown for policy makers and the public alike. It is this uncertainty that raises questions about China’s intentions and future path – and the implications for the United States, Europe and the rest of Asia.

China: The Balance Sheet
What the World Needs to Know Now about the Emerging Superpower

By C. Fred Bergsten, Bates Gill, Nicholas R. Lardy, and Derek J. Mitchell

To address this critical issue, two of the world’s preeminent think tanks have launched a multi-year project which examines the critical facts and dynamics underpinning China’s rise and suggests policy responses that will maximize the opportunities for China’s constructive integration into the international community. The China Balance Sheet is the indispensable resource for anyone who needs to think strategically about China -- the most important emerging power in the world.

China’s remarkable growth has the potential to expand the size of the global economy, and with it global wealth, more than any other nation in history.  Alternatively, China could cause huge competitive problems for the United States and other more advanced countries.  Or China could collapse under the weight of its own domestic challenges.  Similarly, China’s more proactive global engagement and rapid modernization of its military may lead China to become a responsible and productive global citizen. Or China could use its newfound influence to confront and undermine the interests of the United States and other powers, and challenge international norms.  Will China’s rise result in a net economic and security benefit, or will it be a zero-sum game?
