Defining Success: Does the United States Need an “End State” for Its China Policy?

This new report explores whether the United States should more clearly define the end goals for its China policy. While some argue that the United States should aim to win in the strategic competition against China, others advocate for a managed competition, avoiding conflict while strengthening the global rules-based order. This report advances the debate with contributions from over 20 leading experts on China and grand strategy, aiming to deepen discussion on how the United States should navigate an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape.

This report was made possible by generous support from the Open Society Foundations.
