The U.S. Must Embrace Cooperation over Confrontation
The U.S. must learn to maturely accept and work with a rising China rather than attempting to viciously suppress it and undo decades of progress in the Asia-Pacific region.

Washington’s containment strategy was doomed to fail anyway. The sooner the U.S. reverses course, the better.
The U.S. cannot pretend to communicate while harming China’s core interests and concerns; it cannot claim to keep a crisis under control while continuing to flex the muscle in front of China.
It goes without saying that there is no country more prolific at ‘economic coercion’ than the United States.
The creation of new organizations representing the interest of the Global South must do their part in creating a new paradigm in the world, a paradigm of harmony and mutual understanding among nations rather than rancor, fear, and conflict.
Regardless, the trip to China can serve to improve tense relations. Let’s hope for success.
The only way for Asia to succeed is to promote multilateralism, non-alignment, economic integration, and peaceful development, and not the expansion of ideological military blocs controlled by the U.S.
What the Chinese value most is not the splendor of the U.S.’ words, but the sincerity of its actions. A discrepancy between the two only adds fuel to the current fire, or rather, ‘freeze’.
The U.S. is a prosperous society that cares little about the wellbeing of its most vulnerable.
The further development of China’s homegrown airliners makes it possible for the country to become one of the suppliers of civil aircraft and related products and services to the world.
Given the increasing tensions in Europe and in the Asia-Pacific, policies and constructive diplomacy supporting Peaceful Coexistence are urgently needed.
Let improvements in words turn to substantive changes in action, thus bringing China-U.S. relations, especially economic and trade relations back to the right track, benefiting peoples of the two countries and of the world at large.
