Over the next twenty years, China's gross domestic product (GDP) and defense spending are expected to surpass those of the United States. If China wishes, it can develop a more effective challenge to the United States than did the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. However, it seems that China is not seeking to acquire territorial and ideological hegemony over its neighboring states. There is, however, the exception of Taiwan, which China considers part of its own state and which the United States is committed to defending in the event of invasion, implying that its support is the maintenance of its independence towards China.

The idea that states are dependent on other states or other institutions is not recognized from a realist point of view. In an anarchic system, mutual aid is necessarily the principle of action. By ensuring the security of one's own state, the other states in question will automatically fuel the insecurity of other states, which can cause a security dilemma. A small number of states fit the realistic narrative
