To what extent is China a ‘security threat’?

August 4, 2021
Christopher R. Teeple

The extent to which China presents a threat to the US and whether or not China can ‘rise peacefully’ is a topic of debate within realism and security studies. John Mearsheimer, for example, has argued forcefully that if China continues on its current trajectory, then conflict with the US is inevitable.
If you have chosen realism for your summative assessment, you should write a 2,500-word essay on either of the following questions.
Assess this statement: ‘If you think like a realist…. you’ll understand why China’s rise is a critical event and likely to be a source of conflict with the United States (and others).’ (Walt, Stephen, “The World Wants you to Think Like a Realist,” Foreign Policy, May 30, 2018(opens in a new tab)).
