China's economic, military, and diplomatic power has been on the rise, and many worry that it is nudging aside U.S. influence in the Asia-Pacific region. A new RAND Corporation study examines six U.S. allies and partners - Australia, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand - and their responses to China's rise, with an analysis of implications for U.S. interests in the region. The study will be presented by its lead author, Evan Medeiros, a senior political scientist at the RAND Corporation. His publications have appeared in The China Quarterly, Current History, Issues and Studies, The Nonproliferation Review, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The International Herald Tribune, Christian Science Monitor, The Boston Globe, Defense News, Asia Times, and the San Diego Union-Tribune.
