Abstract
It took very little time for Chinese scholars, think tank experts, and government officials to throw themselves into a vivid and stimulating debate about the US pivot and its consequences for China.

A number of Chinese experts knew for a fact that something was in the air regarding US policies in the Asia Pacific: before the pivot was made public, several articles had already questioned the future of US strategy toward China and the United States’ involvement in Asia.1 Accordingly, the intellectual frenzy around the pivot started on a solid tradition of analyzing US policies in Asia from a perspective of mistrust.
