32 New Persp. Q. 2 (2015)

handle is hein.journals/nwpsp32 and id is 1 raw text is: China and America: Indispensable Partners China has two key challenges in the years ahead. The first is to build a new, global rules-based system with the other major world power, the United States, that supplants the post-WWII order. The second is to consoli- C O M M E N T date the rule of law within China. The chal- lenge in both cases is to create a stable and fair playing field for all by resisting hegemonic ambition and the use of force in international affairs and by restraining the abuse of power and privilege at home. Beyond these challenges, China's leaders ought to recognize that the key to making a one-party political system function effectively in the information age is robust feedback from the public. Limiting open expression will weaken, not strengthen, the Party's authority. THE GLOBAL CHALLENGE I The post-war period of American-led Globalization i.o the security, stability and openness of which enabled the rise of China and the other emerging economies has now given way to Globalization 2.o, an interdependence of plural identities where no one power dominates. Interdependence, however, does not govern itself, and neither China nor the US can do it alone. America may no longer be the sole superpower, but a post-American order does not mean a no-America order anymore than it means China will rule the world as the new hegemon. For China, America is the indispensable partner, and vice- versa, in recon- structing a stable and inclusive order for the 21st Century. If these two top powers do not buy into a global rules-based system that works for all, the world is destined once again to break up into divisive blocs, undermining everyone's future. ' WINTER 2015
