The recent China bashing by senior American officials represents a resurgence of the suppressive politics of the U.S. in the 1950s, led by a now disgraced senator from Wisconsin whose name has become synonymous with intolerance and name-calling.

Could the sparks of today’s Cold War with China start a conventional or nuclear war? With a militaristic American president, a looming U.S. election, and a slowing Chinese economy, the threat of war seems to be is looming.

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.

China needs to figure out how to respond constructively to provocations by the United States, especially as the rhetoric heats up in a presidential election year. I have some suggestions.

A desire for all-around containment of China by the United States — pushed by hawkish political elements — is a major error that only boxes the two countries into the so-called Thucydides trap. Conflict will have no winners.

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.

China's US policy remains unchanged. We are still willing to grow China-US relations with goodwill and sincerity.

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.
