How the US went from ‘a position of strength’ to ‘gung-ho’ on China

·South China Morning Post·Impact 3/5 · Notable

The US has shifted its approach to China from a position of strength to a more aggressive stance. This change in policy means the US is now taking a more confrontational approach to dealing with China, rather than trying to dictate terms from a position of power. The implications of this shift are significant for trade and the economy, as it could lead to increased tensions and potential trade wars between the two nations. This new relationship may have far-reaching consequences for global markets and economic stability.
