In a recent panel discussion at the World Peace Forum, a US-China relations specialist highlighted the negative trajectory of bilateral ties, especially concerning Taiwan and technological issues. He warned that another crisis or confrontation could emerge if the current situation persists.
Despite some positive signs post the Xi Jinping-Joe Biden summit, tensions continue to escalate over trade tariffs and tech access. The uncertainty surrounding the US election outcome further muddles the future of the relationship.
Both countries have engaged in dialogue but face challenges due to deep-rooted distrust. Suggestions were made for the US to clarify its stance on various issues to alleviate Chinese concerns and foster cooperation.
The specialist stressed the need for deeper understanding and cooperation on global issues like Ukraine and the Middle East to forge a stable relationship. He emphasized the importance of sincere intentions and mutual trust for lasting stability.
