Christensen argues against this zero-sum vision. \u00a0On the contrary, he explains and examines a new paradigm in which the U.S. must dissuade China from instigating regional aggression while still encouraging the country&#8217;s participation in regional and global order. \u00a0Drawing on decades of scholarship and experience as a senior diplomat, Christensen offers a compelling new\u00a0assessment of U.S.-China relations that is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of the globalized world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/asian\/files\/2015\/09\/Tom-Christensen-c-Woodrow-Wilson-School-Princeton-University_300dpi.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/asian\/files\/2015\/09\/Tom-Christensen-c-Woodrow-Wilson-School-Princeton-University_300dpi-424x636.png\" alt=\"Tom-Christensen-c-Woodrow-Wilson-School-Princeton-University_300dpi\" width=\"159\" height=\"239\" class=\"  wp-image-6444 alignleft\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/asian\/files\/2015\/09\/Tom-Christensen-c-Woodrow-Wilson-School-Princeton-University_300dpi-424x636.png 424w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/asian\/files\/2015\/09\/Tom-Christensen-c-Woodrow-Wilson-School-Princeton-University_300dpi-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/asian\/files\/2015\/09\/Tom-Christensen-c-Woodrow-Wilson-School-Princeton-University_300dpi.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 159px) 100vw, 159px\" \/><\/a>Professor Christensen is William P.
