These are a STARTING POINT - use the footnotes in the articles (especially those in neg articles that the author disagrees with) in order to search deeper into the literature.

Search terms like "East Asia", "power balancing", "counter balancing", "U.S. withdrawal", "Peaceful Rise" + China, will be useful.
