Should the US pursue a new Cold War with China?

Summary
  • Brookings experts debate the applicability of the Cold War analogy to the current U.S.-China relationship, considering the economic, political, and military dimensions.
  • While the U.S. and China are in a state of competition, it differs fundamentally from the U.S.-Soviet Cold War, particularly due to economic interdependence. China's rise and its political model present unique challenges, but it does not seek to overthrow democratic regimes or force its political model on others.
