A presentation given by Dr. Richard Lacquement, Dean, School of Strategic Landpower, US Army War College at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, USA on 2 February 2018 traces the historical dominance of the Middle Kingdom in the past millennia, its recent centuries of national humiliation, the trajectory of China's Communist Party, and President Xi's China Dream of national renaissance. It outlines potential flashpoints in US-China relations and how both countries should understand each other's aspirations, concerns and redlines, including Taiwan, the South Chian Sea, and China's trade practices, with a view to managing the most critical "make-or-break" belateral relations set to define the world in the 21st century.
