Abstract

China is rising. Will China catch up with or surpass the United States economically and militarily some days? There is no universally accepted answer. The author believes that as long as the United States makes no mistakes, it is unlikely China will catch up with the United States in the foreseeable future. However, based on history and current US policy, there could be mistakes in areas such as anti-terrorism, China policy, immigration, etc. Any error on the part of the US will facilitate China’s move to the fore.
