Opinion: Russia and China are outwitting America
By Vance Serchuk April 10 at 3:26 PM Vance Serchuk is executive director of the KKR Global Institute and adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security.
What’s less commendable is the way U.S. national security circles have so far framed great-power rivalry with China and Russia: describing the problem almost exclusively as a competition for technological and military superiority. For evidence, look no further than Syria, where since 2011 the United States has tussled with Russia, with decidedly unfavorable results for Washington.
A similar story has played out in the South China Sea, arguably the most prominent arena for geopolitical competition between Washington and Beijing in the past decade. Washington’s excessive faith in the decisive impact of technology also sharpens what is already the greatest danger from worsening tensions with Russia and China: an inadvertent escalation into war.
