After more than a decade of intimate economic relations, China and the United States have become deeply intertwined. Historian Zachary Karabell maintains that while neither country is fully at ease with this partnership, the occasional tension over intellectual property, human rights, and regional strategy pales in comparison to the deepening and on-going economic bonds that tie the two countries together.

In his current Asian trip, President Obama visits Japan, then addresses a forum of leaders in Singapore, and eventually ends up in Seoul to discuss nukes and North Korea. But make no mistake, the axis of this week is the time Obama will spend in China, which has catapulted to the forefront of international affairs and is on its way to joining the United States as the alpha and omega of the global economic system.

The economic relationship between China and the United States is the defining issue of our day. While debates over health care are vital to American society, and while challenges ranging from Iran to Afghanistan to North Korea are real, nothing will determine the arc of the coming decades — or will shape domestic life and prosperity in the United States — more than the emergence of China as a global economic superpower unrivaled except by America.

Krugman Is Wrong: Why China Won’t Revalue
For years, Americans have been fulminating about China and its policy toward currency. While many of the debates are technical and laden with econo-speak, they boil down to the simple conviction that China is unfairly manipulating its currency to keep it undervalued against the dollar. The result is to give China unfair advantages in trade - flooding the US with cheap goods, hurting labor wages world-wide, and accumulating massive surpluses in the process.

The US and Chinese economies are increasingly intertwined, and there's concern in Washington about some key aspects of the relationship. That includes a big trade deficit, and China's huge holdings of US government debt. But like it or not, the two economies are now fused into one integrated system, says Zachary Karabell.

In February, when President Obama signed a $787-billion stimulus bill, there was little question where the money would come from. The U.S. Treasury would print up bonds, and the Chinese government would buy a large share of them. After all, if the U.S. economy was to ever really tank, China's $1-trillion investment in U.S. debt would tank too. And who then would be left to buy a third of China's exports?

Read moreZachary Karabell on Chimerica: The Imminent Economic Integration of China & the US In Brief
In the wake of the global financial crisis, the unique relationship between China and the US has become the fulcrum of the world economy. As our largest creditor, Chinas lending to the US has buoyed American companies and even allowed them to reinvent themselves, selling to Chinese consumers. Author and economic trend analyst Zachary Karabell argues that our two economies have become so interconnected that theyve become one system: Chimerica. Karabell traces the initial forging of Chimerica that began after the suppression of the protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989 to the present. With a look at current affairs and the changing global economy, he urges that we accept China as the predominant economic partner of the future, or find ourselves left behind.

Read moreInterview: Two countries, one economy. Welcome to 'Chimerica'
China and the United States are not fierce economic competitors and tentative allies. In fact, in economic terms they are not two ‘countries’ at all, but rather a single, unified behemoth called ‘Chimerica.’ That, anyway, is the counterintuitive opinion of “Wall Street Journal” contributor and New York-based economist and global financial consultant Zachary Karabell. Karabell’s new book, “Superfusion: How China and America Became One Economy and Why the World’s Prosperity Depends on It,” outlines the emergence of a singular mega-economy that “is hiding in plain sight, unrecognized, unacknowledged, and unwanted” by “many millions whose lives are being reshaped by it.”
