So there is no need for a strategy to deal with China’s economic rise; but there is a need to lock in China’s prosperity and reduce the chances of political eruption. Japan in the second half of the 20th century had stable politics, due in large part to a good constitution and democratic institutions.
所以我们并不需要一种应对中国经济崛起的战略，但却需要保持中国的繁荣并减少政治动荡爆发的可能性。日本在20世纪下半叶的政治稳定在很大程度上得益于一部好的宪法和民主制度。如果中国要避免重蹈20世纪初德国的覆辙，就必须以宪法和政治改革来支撑成功的经济现代化。
