The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Estrangement of US-China Relations / Yang, Dali L

Yang, Dali L	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

This article assesses US-China relations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, the US-China trade war created an atmosphere of bitterness and mistrust in bilateral relations and also prompted the Chinese leadership to seek to enhance its “discourse power” through “wolf warrior” diplomacy. This atmosphere hampered US-China communication and cooperation during the initial phase of the pandemic. The unleashing of “wolf warrior” diplomacy as the pandemic spread round the world, especially in the United States, has exacerbated US-China relations and served to accelerate the transition of US policy toward China from constructive engagement to strategic competition.

US-China Trade War: From Cooperation to Containment / Baru, Sanjaya

Baru, Sanjaya	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

The escalation of tariffs by the United States (US) on imports from China has launched what has been called a “trade war”. While economists generally do not approve of such actions and view them as zero sum games, the US-China tiff should be viewed as part of a political response, externally to China’s growing assertiveness and internally to domestic criticism of China, by an increasingly depressed US working class that supports President Donald Trump. While President Trump initiated the action, there is bipartisan support in the US to actions that would limit China’s rising power. The US action should be viewed as part of a “geo-economic containment” of China’s economic growth. The US hopes a growth slowdown would hurt China economically and its present leadership politically.
