China and the US: ‘New Cold War’ or ‘Constructive Strategic Stability’?
On May 18, the Valdai Club held an expert discussion titled “The US and China after the Beijing Summit: Is a New Cold War Possible?” Moderator Timofei Bordachev emphasised that most international observers perceive China-US relations as a major political standoff that will shape international reality for a long time. In official rhetoric and publicity, the US views China as a technological and economic competitor, as well as a target for pressure. China, meanwhile, avoids confrontation even at the rhetorical level, believing that time is on its side.
