Organizationally and institutionally, the United States has yet to make the necessary post-Cold War transformation of its national security apparatus to accommodate the range of issues that it now confronts. The environment, although often considered to be a matter of low politics, weighs heavily as an indicator of China's economic and technological growth. Ignoring pollution and degradation, which are transborder issues by definition, disregards the strategic implications, environmental pressure, and global impact of China's future political and economic course. U.S. policy towards China across diplomatic, military, and trade issues can be designed strategically to incorporate considerations of how the environment affects national, regional, and international security.
