The United States vs. China

In this insightful analysis, C. Fred Bergsten examines the escalating competition for global economic leadership between the United States and China, addressing the potential for conflict that extends beyond trade and technology. He warns of the severe repercussions of a hostile confrontation and suggests that the U.S. should avoid a policy of containment in favor of "conditional competitive cooperation" with China and its allies. Drawing from his extensive experience in policymaking and scholarship, Bergsten advocates for China to embrace constructive leadership while urging the U.S. to redefine its role in fostering a stable global economy.
