Outcomes:
| rating_cred_assurance | Suppose that the United States recognizes Chinese sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. Do you think that China will still attempt to contest U.S. military presence in the region at a later date? (stored reversed: 4 = Very Unlikely .. 0 = Very Likely) [rating, 0 (Very Likely that China will contest later (least credible assurance)) to 4 (Very Unlikely that China will contest later (most credible assurance))] |
|---|---|
| rating_cred_threat | Suppose that the United States rejects China's demand for sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. Do you think that China will follow through on its threat to contest U.S. military presence in the region? [rating, 0 (Very Unlikely) to 4 (Very Likely)] |
| rating_resolve | How should the United States respond to China's demand for sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands? The United States should... (0 accept the demand; 1 reject but ask Japan to renounce its claim if any conflict arises; 2 reject but ask Japan to renounce only if conflict costs more than 100 American fatalities; 3 reject even if conflict costs more than 100 American fatalities) [rating, 0 (Accept China's demand) to 3 (Reject even if > 100 American fatalities)] |
