The case involving Meng Wanzhou’s extradition to the U.S. illustrates the precariousness that U.S. allies must face when balancing their relations with the U.S. and China.

The US should move away from suppressing China’s development and instead make attempts towards collaboration. China and the US should find effective ways to get along in a new international economic and political environment, and seek mutually beneficial collaboration in competition and management and control.

The China-US trade war is ultimately a war of attrition; both sides will lose and in the end, there will be no winner. It is inevitable the trade dispute will develop into to other dimensions of investment, finance, exchange rates, high technology, and other non-trade areas.

With a truce in sight, China needs to stay alert as the U.S. might seek to challenge it in other fields.

The U.S. should respect China’s right to develop and become prosperous, the Chinese government’s top diplomat says.

This goes beyond more than just trade.

The Trump administration wants to constrain China’s rise — even if America must pay a steep price for severing forty years of U.S.-China linkage.

Through the use of rhetorical narratives, the American “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” is intended to be an alternative to China’s Belt & Road Initiative, emboldening counterproductive geopolitical competition in the region.

Under President Obama, the US-China relationship was viewed as critical and treated with care. Now, under President Trump, China hawks dominate US foreign policy. How did we get there, and what will it mean for “the most important bilateral relationship of the 21st century”?

Despite their deeply intertwined economies, China and the U.S. remain fundamentally different societies in terms of politics and core values. The sooner the U.S. accepts this truth, the better China-U.S. relations will be.
