Washington Post; "The Illusion of 'Managing' China"; Kaga; 2005

The idea/phrase of "managing" the rise implies enough time to keep under our own control, and enough time to think through things and not do anything rash. History provides no comfort that this will be the case. A new power arises rarely without the resulting war to really reassess the power differentials. China's rise will be controlled by China, not us.
