| Summary/Abstract |
China represents an uncomfortable thorn in U.S. efforts to promote democracy around the world. While some projects have been successful, a large gap exists between the increasing U.S. funding in China and its "limited impact."1 Moreover, U.S. democracy promotion in China has contributed to strategic distrust between China and the United States; Beijing perceives it as a strategic move to destabilize the rise of China and sabotage the Communist Party's leadership.2 At the same time, China's growing power while maintaining one-party rule and rejecting democratic change generates fear and distrust among many Americans.
