Abstract: "The rise of China is profoundly altering the balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region, and this shift will accelerate as China's economy grows to rival that of the United States during the next two decades. This report examines these issues and suggests the course that New Zealand should chart to ensure that its interests in the peace and stability of the Asia Pacific are maintained"--Publisher information.
