Living With China: U.S. -China Relations in the Twenty-First Century is a book edited by Ezra F. Vogel which assess the political, economic, and human rights issues which the U.S. must consider in developing a consistent and mutually beneficial foreign relations policy toward China in the twenty-first century. Tension between U.S.- China relations date back to World War Two. Additionally, the Tienanmen Square incident in 1989, further aggravated U.S.-China relations. Since the end of the Cold War, and especially since 1991, the United States has had no consistent foreign policy in regards to China. This book is a compilation of background papers, from numerous authors, which were written for the November 1996, American Assembly meeting whose purpose was to discuss and work to reach a consensus on U.S.-China relations. The essays de

One of the things that gleams at me after reading this book, is how similar China and the U.S. are to Germany and Eastern Europe prior to World War 2, and the U.S. and Russia during the Cold War. China is a proud country which is eager to become a global power. The united Sates, recognizing this, wishes to guide China into a place which will be beneficial and non threatening to the U.S., but China sees this as interference and angered by it. In addition, the U.S. wants to see China become a more democratic nation, and by attempting to force its views, has caused China to believe that the U.S. wishes to weaken them. Although the current state of relations, in regards to Taiwan, is not at the degree it once was it does mimic some cold war politics.

Chapter 7 is written by Michael McElroy and Chris Neilson and centers around the challenges China faces in regards to air pollution and their climate.

Having the largest population of all the countries, causes it to consume a large amount of energy, and hence almost two thirds of its energy needs are satisfied through the burning of coal, despite the environmental consequences. Working with China in developing long term solutions to these problems will politically and economically benefit both countries.

Chapter 5 is written by Harry Harding and focuses on the major issue of human rights. The major conflict is in that the American public views China's treatment of rebel, labor unions, child labor, and illegality of religion are innately wrong and most believe, via the press and Tiananmen Square, that human rights in China have diminished. China on the other hand, sees that it has made great progress in this area including giving more power to the legislative bodies, and popularizing the local elections, and feels slighted by America's inability to recognize this. It sees America's pressures through sanctions and removing its priority nation status as nothing more than to keep China weak. The basics are that the two country's innate political values and ideology conflict and make resolving this issue quite difficult. The author's conclusion is to mange the issue by China taking on a program of grad
