Critical Issues

Background:

China adopted the term “peaceful rise” around 2003 to describe its strategy for managing the country's transition from regional to global power. However, some officials deemed the term “rise” too threatening and since 2005 “peaceful development” has been the preferred moniker. The debate over the label speaks volumes about China’s sensitivity to stirring up fears or military competition with its neighbors or, worse, with the United States, which since 1945 has provided strategic balance in Pacific Asia. But rise China will, and some experts question whether the current foreign policy is a genuine effort to maintain peaceful relations with its neighbors, or whether it merely reflects a longer view of the issue that assumes China will inevitably dominate its region and beyond as the century progresses.
