Dr.Sungmin Cho has a new paper titled “The U.S.-China Power Transition: An assessment of China’s internal view” published in the Melbourne Asia Review.

According to Cho, “It is vital to understand how Chinese policymakers and analysts view the regional order, whether one agrees with them or not. How do they assess China’s national power and its future trajectory in comparison with the United States? How do the Chinese foreign policy elites view the changing trend of regional order, and why do they see it that way?

This article aims to explain China’s internal view of the regional order in the Indo-Pacific region and discuss its strategic implications. It investigates key statements of China’s President Xi Jinping and explores additional insights from Chinese analysts’ writings published in Chinese.
