What is it about?
This paper discussed China's regime insecurity and the likelihood of premature international conflict through the hegemonic war theory. Using written sources and historical analysis, the central argument is that there is still a danger of hegemonic war between the US and China even in an era nuclear weapons and economic interdependence because of two reasons: being the leader gives more benefits than a free rider and China's domestic insecurity could force the regime into premature hegemonic war.
