The US-China relationship has become characterized by tit-for-tat responses. In these hypercritical times, asymmetrical responses may be the only way to get these two countries back to the business of cooperative, civil relations.

The world needs to pull together to help the continent, which could become a powerful economic force. China is one of the few countries that can still afford to provide largely condition-free assistance.

As a new global power center, it doesn’t need to be part of the master-slave relationship of the United States and its allies. For now, India should be vigilant, act cautiously and wait for new forces to emerge in Washington.

China and America’s visions seem to be increasingly at odds. If the two countries cannot realign and regain mutual trust, both nations, as well as the rest of the world, are sure to suffer.

With a potential new confrontation looming between China and the United States, it’s clear that the ground has shifted from the Cold War era. The rules of a new cold war will not be set by the major powers alone.

Any attempt by Donald Trump to bolster his chances at reclaiming the White House by starting a limited war with China is not likely to work. It’s complicated.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is trying his best to build an anti-China alliance, but he’s not making a lot of headway. Instead, he is irritating U.S. allies, who want to maintain relations with Beijing.

Strong-arm tactics by the United States will not cause China to bend to its will. What’s needed is honest diplomacy that recognizes and respects China’s history, culture and spirit.

Since 2017, America’s National Security Strategy has focused on great power competition, and today much of Washington is busy portraying our relationship with China as a new cold war. Obviously, great power competition remains a crucial aspect of foreign policy, but we must not let it obscure the growing transnational security threats that technology is putting on the agenda.

The Trump administration announced sanctions on Chinese officials over Hong Kong and dispatched a cabinet member to Taipei, further souring the ties with Beijing.
