China’s power status objectively, we should first understand the true nature of international power and clarify our goal for measuring the differences of national powers. If we fail to do this, then as complexity in these measurements increases, their pragmatic value actually decreases. Therefore, the results of assessment will not benefit us at all in understanding national power status. China’s growing military capabilities pose a concern for U.S. security interests. Experts say the United States must push for greater engagement with China’s military to reduce the potential for misunderstandings. Entering the 21st century, there are more and more predictions about when China will become a superpower. Some guess that China will be as strong as the United States in the coming decade, some bet that in 20 years and some predict its rise in year 2040. In spite of those disagreements among scholars, the forecasts were all based on the speed at which China’s total power has been growing in recent years, without any consideration of the influences of the other powers’ growth. As we are aware that China’s power status is related to that of the other states, when forecasting China’s future power status, we should not only take account of the speed of China’s power growth but also the growth of the other states’ power. As the book addresses this crucial issue quite deftly, it is hoped that it would prove to be a source of great information for the reader
