Over the past three decades, China has rapidly emerged as a major regional power, yet East Asia has been more peaceful than at any time since the Opium Wars of 1839-1841. Why has the region accommodated China's rise? David C. Kang believes certain preferences and beliefs are responsible for maintaining stability in East Asia. His research shows that East Asian states have grown closer to China, with little evidence that the region is rupturing. These states see China's rise as advantageous and are willing to defer judgment as to China's wishes and future actions. They believe that a strong China stabilizes East Asia, while a weak China tempts other states to seek control of the region. Kang's provocative work reveals the flaws in contemporary views on China and offers a new understanding of sound U.S. policy in East Asia.

China rising
In his account of China's economic, military and political rise within the East Asian system, David Kang makes the case that the analysis made by IR-realists is flat out wrong; East Asian states are not balancing China (and neither is the United States), not because they aren't able to, and not because they are putting their faith in the US. He goes on to show how a general lack of fear towards China's intentions is by far the dominant attitude among its neighbours, and through a mainly Constructivist approach he attempts to find the cause of this in the history and identities of each East Asian state.
It was nice to read a slightly contrarian take on the issue of China's rise, and Kang might have been fully on point ten years ago (I don't have the sufficient knowledge for assessing that), but the big drawback to this book is that the data employed here is now 11+ years old, and A LOT has changed since then...
