China’s President Xi Jinping was one of several global leaders who participated in U.S. President Joe Biden’s virtual climate summit last week. As both the U.S. and China work towards a greener future, the climate fight may also establish common ground for cooperation and improving bilateral relations.

The traditional Western world alignment between the U.S. and Europe has been strained by four years of tumultuous foreign policy. Now, the gravity of China’s rise threatens to drive a larger wedge between the two regions.

It’s a critical time for global order China and Europe must manage and adapt to increasing competitiveness in their relationship and find a pragmatic, rational and balanced approach to their relations. But they must also increase communication and cooperation to prevent the world from renewing the pattern of major power confrontation.

For the sake of the shared interests of the human family, the U.S. needs to join hands with China and other countries for global governance and deal with urgent challenges, including the suppression of the COVID-19 pandemic and a reinvigoration of the world economy.

An act recently introduced in Congress sets the tone for the Biden administration as it unilaterally attempts to cement the role of the United States as arbiter of security matters in the Arctic region. But China must safeguard its own interests.

The United States and Japan are interfering in domestic affairs, and they have formed an ideological alliance in which they believe China must be confronted. The U.S. should reconsider this as it seeks allies among unrepentant Japanese politicians. After sowing the wind, what comes next is the whirlwind.

Many Central and Eastern European countries are re-considering their geopolitical relationships as China becomes more involved in the region. How might a more balanced and neutral foreign policy change Croatia’s economic and political fate?

Japan seems developed and orderly, but that’s only its outward appearance. In truth, it is a vassal of the United States, which has adopted chaos as standard diplomatic theory. Now Japan wants to discharge radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear accident into the sea. Who will say no?

Existing tensions between India and Pakistan are being stoked by the U.S. and China, with all parties seeking the elimination of perceived threats for rapid economic growth and security.

The ball is now in America’s court. The choices the U.S. makes for itself are critical. We should be patient as we wait to find out whether or not the Biden administration can make a historic decision for the good of human civilization.
