本章通过运用理论、历史实例和对中国政治经济的分析来评估美国对华接触政策。沙俄和德国的例子表明，非民主国家可以有不同的制度偏见，影响经济关系在政策过程中的转化，并影响外交政策。这一章考虑了中国经济发展在多大程度上依赖于融入世界经济。然后，它考察了中国政治制度的本质，重点是确定中国最高领导人负责的官员，即“选举人”。这也表明，中国最高领导人已经做出了继续推进经济改革的坚定承诺。报告的结论是，只要中国继续参与世界经济，中国领导人就不太可能奉行冲突性很强的外交政策，从而危及中国的经济联系和改革努力。
This chapter assesses the United States policy of engagement with China by employing theory, historical examples, and an analysis of the Chinese political economy. The czarist Russia and Wilhelmine German cases show how nondemocracies can have different institutional biases that affect how economic ties are translated in the policy process and influence foreign policy. The chapter considers the extent to which Chinese economic development has depended on integration into the world economy. It then examines the nature of the Chinese political system, focusing on identifying the officials to whom top Chinese leaders are accountable, the 'selectorate'. It also shows that the highest leaders in China have made a strong commitment to continued economic reform. It concludes that as long as China's engagement in the world economy continues, Chinese leaders are unlikely to pursue foreign policy that is so conflictual as to jeopardize China's economic links and reform efforts.
