China is one of the most hotly debated topics in American politics and the cause of much division. In both the Senate and Congress, representatives tussle over whether China should be regarded as a strategic competitor, a threat, or a malign influence. Think tanks in Washington offer their interpretations, too.
 
The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft stands out as being one of the few groups in favour of more cooperation between the US and China. It also challenges a lot of the popular rhetoric on China. In this podcast, Michael Swaine, Director, East Asia Program at the  Quincy Institute speaks to Duncan Bartlett, the Editor of Asian Affairs magazine.
