Relations between China and the United States are in the spotlight. A recent article titled "War with China Is Not Inevitable" was published in the U.S. National Interest**, which sparked widespread discussion. In this article, Professor Graham Allison's view that a threat to an existing established state by a rising state is mentioned that it leads to chaos and conflict. However, Ryan Bercow argues that the relationship between China and the United States goes beyond simple comparisons, and despite tensions, there have been cases of successful conflict mitigation between the two countries.
Historically, the relationship between China and the United States has shown a pattern of mutual tolerance, in which ** has played an important role. Last year, the value of goods between the two countries reached 758.4 billion US dollars, and they became important partners of each other. The relationship not only brings great benefits to both sides, but also stabilizes the tension between the two countries to a certain extent. Bercow emphasized that peace is an ongoing process that requires active participation, communication, and a signal of peace from both sides.
The author of the article pointed out that if relations between China and the United States can be eased as superpowers, it will be conducive to global peace. Conversely, if tensions between the two countries continue and lead to conflict, not only the surrounding region, but also the global peace situation will be at risk. Therefore, if the two countries can work together for peaceful development, it will be of positive significance to the peace of all mankind.
In today's economic integration, both Chinese and American products occupy an important position in the international market. The friendly relations between the two countries will help promote economic development and enhance the common interests of both sides. On the contrary, a deterioration in relations will only cost both parties their interests.
Recently, relations between China and the United States have warmed up rapidly, and high-level meetings have been frequent. In the military sphere, however, U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups continue to operate in the waters around China, which is seen as a form of pressure and provocation against China. The U.S. navigation in the South China Sea and military exercises in neighboring countries, as well as high-frequency reconnaissance around China and even transmission to Taiwan, have also raised concerns in China.
In summary, although in theory the two countries can achieve peace through cooperation, in practice, the actions of both sides still pose a challenge to peace. How to seek balance in the real environment and avoid conflict and confrontation has become an issue of common concern to the international community.
