Timothy Beardsons sprawling Stumbling Giant: The Threats to Chinas Future joins a far-ranging group of books making the latter case. Edward Luttwak, in his 2012 book, The Rise of China vs. the Logic of Strategy, for example, argues that what he calls Chinas all-round military aggrandizement, coupled with the countrys very fast economic growth, is essentially self-canceling.

Just as its professed dedication to freedom or democracy has never been an accurate predictor of U.S. behavior China's professions of win-win diplomacy Confucian benevolence and economic priorities are unlikely to indicate future Chinese behavior. Instead the drivers of Chinese foreign policy are likely to remain the quest for status and to acquire power- political military and economic. The only consideration that might override them in unlikely circumstances is regime continuity in China. If rule by the CCP elite is threatened by the consequences of the drive for status and power that push will be limited or modified. But for the present expect more of the "assertive" China.
