87 Foreign Aff. [i] (2008)

handle is hein.journals/fora87 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREIGN AFFAIRS JANUARY/ FEBRUARY 2OO8 VOLUME 87, NUMBER 1 Changing China Long Time Coming John L. Thornton 2 Is China democratizing? The country's leaders do not think of democracy as people in the West generally do, but they are increasingly backing local elections, judicial independence, and oversight of Chinese Communist Party officials. How far China's liberalization will ultimately go and what Chinese politics will look like when it stops are open questions. The Rise of China and the Future of the West G.John Ikenberry 23 China's rise will inevitably bring the United States' unipolar moment to an end. But that does not necessarily mean a violent power struggle or the overthrow of the Western system. The U.S.-led international order can remain dominant even while integrating a more powerful China-but only if Washington sets about strengthening that liberal order now. China's New Dictatorship Diplomacy Stephanie Kleine-Ahlbrandt andAndrew Small 38 Beijing has recently stepped back from its unconditional support for pariah states, such as Burma, North Korea, and Sudan. This means China may now be more likely to help the West manage the problems such. states pose-but only up to a point, because at heart China still favors nonintervention as a general policy. Reconsidering Revaluation David D. Hale and Lyric Hughes Hale 57 Politicians in Washington are clamoring for currency revaluation in China to reverse China's trade surplus with the United States. But the trade imbalance is not the threat they make it out to be, and a stronger yuan is not the solution. Everybody should focus instead on properly integrating China into the global economy.
