For forty years, China and the U.S. maintained relations that despite disagreements, were marked more by cooperation than friction – a strategy of cooperation that survived eight U.S. presidents. Though there were vicissitudes and various crises during each presidency, China and the U.S.’ relationship as “cooperating rivals” had not seen fundamental changes, until recently.

Professor Graham Allison of Harvard has suggested that the US/China relationship might fall into the ‘Thucydides trap’, referring to conflict between an established power and a newly rising one. This is a possibility but not a certainty: both countries will have to take care to avoid exacerbating difficulties in the relationship and to make the right choices among the different scenarios for the way forward, and as things stand, China appears better placed to manage this change.

The US, in launching a ‘trade war’ against China, is appealing to the thinking and rhetoric of the late-twentieth-century - Cold War. This is inappropriate to the modern age, as the world has moved on and become multipolar. China does not itself seek hegemony, but has a number of options to build alliances with which to repel any US hegemonic ambitions, which are thus doomed to failure.
