| Summary: | Until the global financial crisis, China was thought to be decades away from overtaking the United States as the world's largest economy. But while the US skirted economic stagnation, China was able to successfully navigate the crisis, and its growth continues to accelerate.

Will conflict be inevitable, or would its costs be unthinkable in a globalized world economy? |
