Glaser advances a thought-provoking strategy for securing vital US interests in the face of China's rise.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany believe China's ascent will drive it to war with the United States. Yet this is far from inevitable; geography and nuclear weapons should ensure US security. The real danger, Glaser contends, lies in East Asia's territorial disputes, especially over Taiwan. To reduce the risk of war, Glaser makes a bold case for ending US security commitments to Taiwan and carefully calibrating its policies on protecting South China Sea maritime features. The United States should also strengthen its alliances with Japan and South Korea and eliminate unnecessarily provocative nuclear and conventional weapons policies. These measures, Glaser argues, would defuse China's biggest security concerns while preserving America's core strategic interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFusing theoretical insights with policy analysis, \u003ci\u003e Retrench, Defend, Compete\u003c\/i\u003e lays out a distinctive and compelling approach for managing the world's most consequential geopolitical rivalry--before it's too late.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles L.
