| Summary/Abstract |
This article analyzes the change in policy discourse of the
Trump administration and its destructive effects on US-China
relations. It begins with a retrospective look at the China
policies of two prior US administrations, those of President
George W. Bush and President Barack Obama, in order to
show just how significant the shift is. Following the review
are analyses of the new policy discourse on China and how
China has responded to it, especially in the context of the
coronavirus pandemic. The last section of this article discusses a popular theme in recent academic circles: Is a new Cold
War inevitable?
