From the Introduction

China is now in a region and a world of great power competition. What does this mean? . . . [S]tates have contentious relations, a serious rivalry, and seek relative gains over scarce stakes or outcomes. The most discernible dyad today is China and the United States. Both Beijing and Washington perceive themselves to be in a head-to-head rivalry, pursuing finite supplies of power, influence, prestige and prosperity, and each perceives the other to be the most persistent existential threat. . . .

Great power competition encompasses military rivalry but also includes competition in the non-military realm. The six contributions in the volume address various domains in which China engages in great power competition: two essays on economics, one on energy, one on the maritime domain, and two on bilateral ties with the United States.
