• Mearsheimer: 'The US won't tolerate China as peer competitor'
  The neorealist international relations scholar John Mearsheimer has predicted for years that China's rise will bring it into conflict with the US. He tells DW about what he expects for the future of the US-China rivalry.
  John Mearsheimer sees international relations as a "nasty and dangerous business." His theory, "offensive realism," is based on the premise that states are the main actors in international politics and their ultimate goal is survival.
  As part of the realist school of thought, Mearsheimer believes that the international system is anarchic, and that no state can know the intention of another with certainty

• I've always believed that there would be an intense security competition.

  The second factor is that China's neighbors and the US are pushing back. The US began to contain China regionally with the 2011 pivot to Asia. This created a spiral mechanism that is now in play: the Americans and their Asian allies are pushing back against China, and China is responding.
