US-China Rivalry offers a holistic analysis of the unfolding of US-China competition in the Indo-Pacific, using a novel theory called neo-offensive realism. It synthesises quantitative and qualitative data to examine the intensification of US-China competition across the Indo-Pacific in recent years, with a focus on why the competition is intensifying under the interplay of system-level and unit-level forces; where the competition is unfolding across states and quasi-states in the region; how the competition is conducted through economic and military influence mechanisms; and whither the competition is developing in the future.

Armed with a theoretical construct of “neo-offensive realism”, Brian C. H. Fong shows that US-China competition is not only the result of system-level changes in relative power distribution. It is also shaped by the unit-level forces within the two great powers, especially their geopolitical locations and evolving ideologies. This book is a precious resource for all people who want to understand US-China relations.
