As the terms like G-2, Chimerica, and the Eagle-Dragon era suggest, the DC-Beijing dyad is probably the most important relationship to monitor for foreign policy and international relation pundits for the rest of this century. Are the relations between the two leading economies and political heavyweights in the world going to be stormy, tension-ridden, and conflict-prone, or manageable, in the spirit of the Olympics, and even in the form of partnership? Arguably all this hinges more on China than on the U.S. and much depends on what China is up to than what its muscles are going to be.
