I argue that while many U.S. policymakers and analysts are disillusioned by China'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'd be grateful for any and all reactions.
