I argue that while many U.S. policymakers and analysts are disillusioned by China& #39;s growing repressiveness at home and assertiveness abroad, and accordingly supportive of efforts to "get tougher" on Beijing, they disagree significantly over how to proceed.

And, finally, I link to commentary by @dandrezner and @neilthomas123.
The upshot of the piece is that any "consensus" should, at a minimum, articulate what strategic objectives the United States seeks to achieve vis-à-vis China.
I& #39;d be grateful for any and all reactions.
