    This document discusses theories about China's rise from the perspectives of neorealism and neoliberalism. Neorealists argue that China poses a threat as its economic power grows and it will seek to challenge U.S. hegemony, potentially leading to war. Neoliberals counter that China sees benefits from economic cooperation and will pursue its interests through non-military means as a regional rather than global power. The document questions whether China will preserve the status quo or act as a revisionist state, and which approach - neorealism or neoliberalism - provides a better framework for understanding China's trajectory.

    US/China

    Neorealism/Neoliberal
    CONSIDER:WHO CAN PROFIT MORE?

    Why we believe China is rising rapidly?


    • In the last decades China:
    lifted 500 million
    people out of 2nd biggest
    Rural poverty (fell from economy behind
    agricultural 65% to less than
    society the US
    Urban market-
    10%-data from
    based society 2014)

    MAIN QUESTION: WILL CHINA BE A REVISIONIST POWER OR A POWER THAT PRESERVES THE
    STATUS QUO???
    Principles of neorealism
    -states behave according to the structure of the
    International system
    -leave out Domestic Politics- highly simplified model

    • ANARCHY Key structure of the system, main actors GPs

    MILITARY CAPABILITY To ensure survival

    UNCERTAINTY Balance their power against each other

    SURVIVAL Main goal, without that pursue no other goal, more powerful more
    likely to survive

    RATIONAL Follow structure, ’hyper-rational’ actors, come up with strategy


    to perpetuate their power
    -China –destabilize global, political and economic system
    Growing economic strength of China pursue its national
    1. interests
    Trigger US to balance against China create a
    Essence of China’s competition between the two
    Threat Theory

    2.

    -Mearsheimer: claiming peaceful rise of China not


    credible!!!
    -rising economic power of China , threat to US hegemony
    -after economic military build-up
    -presidents (Barack Obama): must preserve US
    primacy!!!
    -erase further poverty, must promote its ideology
    -compete to become most powerful, or only hegemon
    Logical consequence -HEGEMONIC WAR!!!! ( a war
    similar to the CW)
    Principles of Neoliberalism
    Contrast to
    China’s Threat
    Theory
    Essence of China’s peaceful rise’
    Zhang thesis+2
    concepts
    Why a regional not a
    global hegemon?
    Who can profit
    more?
    THE END
