A new test for Chinese diplomacy will be guiding the United States to adapt to a new situation. By affirming the positive role of the U.S. in creating the postwar world order, China and others can show that they are not attempting to exclude it now but merely helping it evolve.

China bashing is a regular fixture of presidential campaigns in the United States. But it’s crucial that they be contained. The China-U.S. relationship should not be trifled with. It is the most consequential bilateral connection in the world.

With his eye on November’s vote, U.S. President Donald Trump is trying to whip Americans into a frenzy of anti-China sentiment by manufacturing conflicts to rally them around the flag. His most dangerous diversionary action so far is in the South China Sea.

How the United States decides to tilt the delicately balanced scales will determine whether relations with China will heal or erode further. Both countries stand to gain from cooperation, and both will lose by confrontation. We need to remove the painful barbs with patience.

While the US and China have entered a new phase in their relationship, it is misleading to call it a new cold war. Both sides should find the requisite “bottoms” and “safety nets” that establish a framework that best suits the US-China cooperative rivalry.

Against the backdrop of a trade war and a global pandemic, the U.S. and China cannot afford war. It is in the best interest of both nations, and America’s allies, for the two to meet to better understand each other’s interests and priorities.
