'Ketian Zhang draws attention to the need for a clearer understanding of when and how China resorts to coercion in its foreign policy. The result is a distinctive explanation that illuminates both the military and non-military aspects of the broad challenges a more capable China poses for international politics in the twenty-first century.' Avery Goldstein, University of Pennsylvania 'How does China go about asserting its foreign policy interests in an era of complex linkages and economic interdependence? China's Gambit provides a comprehensive, cogent treatment of this challenging and essential subject, identifying the mechanisms of China's primarily non-military revisionism. Read and become informed about this most important current dynamic in world affairs.' Erik Gartzke, University of California

Erik Gartzke, University of California 'China's Gambit adds to the literature examining China's rise and coercion calculations in an era of great power competition. Using a rich data set from firsthand interviews and Chinese documents, Ketian Zhang argues that her cost-balancing theory explains China's coercive behavior toward other states, not realism, an individual leader, or nationalism.' Adam Baker, H-Net
