With Kevin McCarthy having been ousted as House speaker, complex internal disputes within the Republican Party will likely persist. If China issues continue to be stoked for political gain, China-U.S. relations may yet face new challenges at the congressional level.

The China-US Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement is still important. It has always been the fastest to heal when frictions arise. But to extend it beyond American election cycles, both sides must make determined efforts for some time to come.

A recently published Pew Research Center study showcases the decline of China’s popular rating over the past few years.

As tensions between China and the U.S. seemingly increase, it’s difficult for either side to overcome public perceptions shaped by the media and arrive at the point of intentional communication. But reflecting on the history of diplomatic relations between China and the U.S. reminds us that “it’s not about friendship, it’s about mutual self-interest.”

For some time now I’ve believed that the best way to improve the troika of China-European Union-United States relations is for Europe to start to exercise its strategic autonomy when its own national interests diverge from its ally, the United States.
