Title: Invisible Anxiety: Would the Rise of <scp>C</scp>hina Really Be a Security Threat to the United States?
Abstract: This paper investigates diverse public opinion on the rise of the P eople's R epublic of C hina through a survey conducted in the tri‐state region of I ndiana, K entucky, and O hio. In the midst of a global financial crisis, C hina's financial support to the US economy, as well as its recent modernization of the P eople's L iberation A rmy, echoed a serious public anxiety over a potential military and economic security threat to the United States. Will the rise of C hina create a military as well as an economic security threat to the United States? Is there anticipation that the continuing rapid economic growth in C hina will overtake the US economy within three decades? Will its successful economic growth lead C hina to democratization? Introducing scholarly debates on these research questions, the research in this paper examines important empirical research results on the issue.
