Topic: US-China Relations: Tracking Threat Perceptions Over Time

Whereas China was once widely considered a strategic partner of the US, Americans now increasingly view China as a strategic competitor or rival. In this lecture, Prof. Peter Trubowitz examines the international and domestic sources of this shift in American perceptions of Chinese power and ambition and considers the implications for the future of US-China relations.
