Rise of China’s Comprehensive Power: Implications for Taiwan, Hong Kong and the United States
The implications of China's rise for Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the United States are increasingly complex and controversial, especially because it has been associated not with democratization at home and conciliatory behavior abroad, as many had hoped, but rather with tighter domestic political controls and the more forceful assertion of Beijing's core foreign policy interests.

What are the implications for the United States, which has commitments to maintaining the autonomy of both Taiwan and Hong Kong, and whose policy of engagement with China is increasingly criticized as having fallen short of its goals?
