In Dr. Wolf's view, one should assess US-China relations as a balance sheet with both positive and negative entries---respectively representing convergent and divergent interests, assets and liabilities---on the two sides of the ledger. Entries include security, political, and economic dimensions. Depending on weights attached to the entries, one can arrive at a net positive or negative bottom-line.  The weights suggested are debatable, and there are significant entries on both sides of the account, but on balance they appear positive.
