Navigating the U.S.-China Relationship: Signals, Talks, and Ideologies

The idea of a new Cold War between the United States and China has gained traction, but the current situation differs in important ways. While there are similarities, such as ideological differences and competition for influence, the interconnectedness of the U.S. and Chinese economies and China's lack of interest in exporting its version of Marxism distinguish it from the U.S.-Soviet relationship. 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.

US Budget Prepares for Potential Confrontation with China, says Pentagon.

The Pentagon is urging Congress to approve the proposed $842 billion budget to modernize the US military and prepare for possible confrontation with China. The budget includes a 40% increase in spending to build up military capabilities in the Pacific and defend allies. The growing alliance between China and Russia is a concern, and the US is working to ensure Ukraine remains a free and independent country. The Defense Department must continue to modernize its forces to deter China, and operational readiness rates are higher now than in many years. The loss of 13 service members in Afghanistan was a strategic failure, but it was the result of decisions made over the 20-year war.
