The article "China from a U.S. Policy Perspective" by Eric J. Heikkila examines how China's rise impacts U.S. policies in three main areas: economic, sustainability, and geopolitical. The author looks at key policy issues and tradeoffs in each area, showing how China's growth affects these balances. The research suggests that China's influence on U.S. policies is not just through negotiation, but also due to its sheer presence. The study emphasizes the importance for U.S. policymakers to address the policy questions influenced by China's rise, especially during times of increasing tensions.
