GETTING CHINA RIGHT AT HOME

Amid the ongoing debate over how to define success in how the United States deals with China, there is bipartisan agreement that advancing American interests requires getting policy right at home: on issues from technology, data, trade, investment, energy, law, and labor, to the concerns of local constituencies, including governors, mayors, and Chinese Americans.

Despite this agreement on the broad purposes of its policy, the United States is still in the early stages of defining an approach to China that takes account of the domestic consequences of measures aimed at strengthening U.S. national and economic security. Those consequences concern American workers and businesses as well as the vibrancy of U.S. democracy, society, and educational institutions.
