CHINA’S STRATEGIC RELATIONS WITH THE WESTERN WORLD∞

Abstract

This paper’s topic, “China’s Strategic Relations With the Western World,” discusses some economic and military aspects of the People’s Republic of China’s (defined as the PRC or “China”) relations with the West—a very large and varied geographic region, defined as North America, Western Europe, and Latin America, the last further defined to include South America, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Even within that definition, however, discussion is sharply focused due the brevity of this paper.
