However, the absence of crisis prevention and management mechanisms, the deglobalizing world, and questionable assumptions on both sides pose risks. To avoid catastrophe, the two countries should maintain economic ties, defuse tensions over Taiwan, establish crisis-prevention mechanisms, strengthen cooperation on health and climate change, and engage influential citizens to promote the common good.
