How should the United States approach strategic competition with China? This has been a central question in U.S. foreign and defense policy for decades. Each new presidential administration has tried to find the right balance between competition and cooperation in an evolving bilateral relationship with complex political, economic, and security dimensions. In anticipation of a widening discussion of these matters within the United States, with U.S. allies, and also of course in China, we turned to Michael Nacht. As a scholar of international relations and as a policy practitioner in two presidential administrations, he has deep insight into the China–U.S. strategic relationship and the enduring challenge of how best to balance competition and cooperation. This paper provides essential context for the current policy debate, as well as insights and recommendations of immediate relevance. Dr. Nacht then turned to two research fellows at CGSR for assistance with this project, who played a significant role in writing the report. Sarah Laderman and Julie Beeston contributed importantly to the analytical work reflected here. We are grateful to all three coauthors for such a timely and important piece of analysis. We are also grateful for the good counsel of an external reviewer and for supplemental research support provided by other members of the CGSR research team.
