Rethinking Our Assumptions About Chinese Aggression

Is it possible that China, far from its recent reputation for assertiveness, is in fact a remarkably stable and reticent actor on the world stage? Is there any way that the United States can counteract China's growing influence on international institutions? Should the United States extend security guarantees to countries like Vietnam? Lyle Goldstein discusses these issues and many more in the fourth episode of "Jaw-Jaw," the newest addition to the War on the Rocks family of podcasts.
