Professor Nordin describes a Chinese leadership attempting to navigate between two imperatives: safeguarding critical regional energy flows while resisting what Beijing sees as “U.S. violent interference.” China, she argues, wants influence without entanglement, stability without military overreach, and diplomatic leverage without assuming the burdens of American-style global policing.
