Debates have been spurred over the strategies of the United States’ new Air-Sea Battle (ASB) military concept that addresses the scenario of Chinese aggression. Complications such as likely nuclear escalation may keep fighting off mainland China and lead to proxy wars that will require building strong military relationships with allies that can keep Chinese and U.S. ambitions in check.

To date, the initial suggestions of dialogues on a new type of major-power relations from both China and the US have predictably focused more on what each side wants the other to do rather than on what both sides must do.
