The rivalry between the United States and China has become a guiding paradigm in international relations, shaping strategic debates and real-world political, military, and economic dynamics. As countries around the world try to understand the evolving nature of US-China relations, it is necessary to step back and assess current developments and their implications.
This panel will address the uncertainty that revolves around some fundamental questions for the Asia-Pacific: What is the trajectory of China-US strategic competition and what are the implications for the Asia-Pacific region? Is this sustainable for the long term? How has the COVID-19 pandemic changed US- China strategic competition? How great is the risk of war between China and the United States? How can China and the United States have a less confrontational and more productive relationship? How will the Biden Administration handle the relationship with China?
