| Summary/Abstract |
President Xi Jinping has proposed, and President Obama has agreed, that China and the United States will seek to develop a “new model” of major country relations. The two countries will seek both to develop the principles of this “new model” of relations and to operationalize those principles in concrete and practical cooperation of mutual benefit to both nations.
The two leaders agreed to seek to develop this “new model” because they concluded that the traditional model of major country relations was a threat to the security and prosperity of both countries. Because of its dramatic economic growth over the last three and a half decades, China has emerged as a major global power. Historically, when a new major power has emerged on the world stage, it has usually resulted in confrontation and conflict between that new power and the existing major powers. The example most cited is the First World War which most scholars attribute to the rise of Germany at the start of the 20th century and the challenge this presented to Great Britain. President Obama and President Xi want to make sure that China’s peaceful rise and peaceful development do not provoke a similar confrontation and conflict between China and the United States.
