The Upside of US-Chinese Strategic Competition
Alliances with Chinese characteristics? The contents and rationale of China’s strategic partnerships
Alliances are an important component of international relations. However, China rarely forms formal alliances; instead, it relies on various forms of partnerships.

Explaining China’s large-scale land reclamation in the South China Sea
Since 2013, China has undertaken extensive reclamation and construction on several reefs in the Spratly Island chain in the South China Sea.

How China Sees the World
Cautious Bully
Since 1990, China has used coercion in its maritime territorial disputes in the South China Sea, despite adverse implications for its image. China is curiously selective in its timing, targets, and tools of coercion: China rarely employs military coercion, and it does not coerce all countries that pose similar threats. An examination of newly available primary documents and hundreds of hours of interviews with Chinese officials to trace the decis…
