Both Friedberg and Libby, as well as Cheney, Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld and 21 other prominent right-wingers, signed the 1997 founding charter of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), which called for the adoption of a "'Reaganite' policy of military strength and moral clarity".
Friedberg also signed another PNAC letter to Bush on September 20, 2001, which called for the "war on terrorism" to be directed against Iraq and other anti-Israel forces in the Middle East, in addition to al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Moreover, writes Friedberg, China "will be a very different kind of strategic competitor from the Soviet Union", given its size, dynamism and relative openness, all of which could work against Washington's ability to contain it in the coming years.

 China hawk settles in neo-cons’ nest -DAWN - International; May 12, 2003
China specialist and Princeton University professor Aaron Friedberg has been named deputy national security adviser and director of policy planning on Cheney’s high-powered, foreign- policy staff headed by I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, one of the most influential foreign-policy strategists in the administration.
Friedberg also signed another PNAC letter to Bush on Sept 20, 2001, which called for the “war on terrorism” to be directed against Iraq and other anti-Israel forces in the Middle East, in addition to Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Indeed, Friedberg’s assumptions were even questioned by Zalmay Khalilzad, a senior Bush strategist who has handled relations with Afghanistan and Iraq but has supported a policy of both engagement and containment — or “co-engagement” — toward China.

Friedberg also signed another PNAC letter to Bush on Sep. 20, 2001, which called for the ''war on terrorism'' to be directed against Iraq and other anti-Israel forces in the Middle East, in addition to al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
In his writings over several years, Friedberg has depicted China as a ''strategic competitor'' to the United States that will almost inevitably challenge Washington's own political and military pre-eminence in the region.
In a 2000 article entitled 'The Struggle for Mastery in Asia', in the leading neo-conservative monthly 'Commentary', Friedberg wrote, ''over the course of the next several decades there is a good chance that the United States will find itself engaged in an open and intense geopolitical rivalry with the People's Republic of China (PRC)''.

China specialist and Princeton University professor Aaron Friedberg has been named deputy national security adviser and director of policy planning on Cheney's high-powered foreign policy staff headed by I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, one of the most influential foreign policy strategists in the administration.
Libby also served as the general counsel to the Cox Commission, a House Select Committee that issued a report in 1999 accusing China of large-scale espionage to advance its nuclear weapons program and was soundly criticized by many China scholars for its factual errors, unsupported allegations, and shoddy analysis.
Indeed, Friedberg's assumptions were even questioned by Zalmay Khalilzad, a senior Bush strategist who has handled relations with Afghanistan and Iraq but has supported a policy of both engagement and containment--or "congagement"--toward China.

 Damin | Periclean America: Dodging the Cold War's Statist Bullets
In this exhaustive revisionist account of postwar political history, Aaron L. Friedberg, professor of politics and international affairs and director of the Research Program in International Security at Princeton, convincingly argues that anti-statist inclinations prevented Cold War anxieties from transforming the United States into a garrison state.
The strategic synthesis that emerged by the 1960s enabled Washington to deter, contain, and ultimately outlive the Soviet empire and its “allies” precisely because the U.S. government did not limit or infringe upon its citizens' political, personal, and economic freedoms.
Friedberg's book is rich in research and analysis.
