Concerns of China and the United States over science and technology can be resolved by the international community. Avoiding the huge cost of decoupling should be a top consideration.

Misunderstandings spread by poorly informed Western media, often using loaded language, cloud the truth. Academics need to seek primary sources.

In little more than a generation, the Internet has become a vital substrate for economic, social, and political interactions, and it has unlocked enormous gains. Along with greater interdependence, however, come vulnerability and conflict. Attacks by states and non-state actors have increased, threatening the stability of cyberspace.

The tasks and timelines are complex, but it’s still possible to end the nuclear standoff on the Korean Peninsula once and for all. Time is short.

A “China Plan” would help, starting with consideration of the interests of the Syrians themselves, who have suffered mightily in the seemingly endless conflict. A solution imposed by outsiders won’t work.

First of all, it’s not clear that such a confrontation even exists. Science and engineering cooperation between China and the U.S. has been growing rapidly over the last two decades.
