How does the rise of China alter the context in which U.S. policy should be assessed? In\xa0China from a U.S. Policy Perspective,\xa0Professor Eric Heikkila\xa0divides policy into three broad areas: economics, sustainability, and geopolitics. In each one, he analyzes key policy issues, demonstrating how a growing China exerts pressure on American policy, not explicitly through lobbying or negotiation, but implicitly through the reality it creates. Dr. Heikkila argues that at a time of increasing bilateral tensions, it is critical for American policymakers to focus on the many policy questions affected by China\u2019s rise.
