The region’s nearly 700m people have much to lose from confrontation between the superpowers

Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskHow times have changed. Under Mr Trump’s successor as president, Joe Biden, the trade war with China has intensified, and been reinforced by geopolitical, ideological and even military competition that at times has seemed to risk conflict. On the Chinese side, an all-powerful President Xi Jinping speaks of a titanic struggle with an American-led West.

The faraway conflict has also underlined the importance of peace at home. As the prime minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong, put it at a national-day rally in August: “Look at how things have gone wrong in Europe. Can you be sure that things cannot go wrong in our region too? Better get real, and be psychologically prepared.”

They also worry that a dearth of trust acts as an obstacle to communication. In turn, mutual disdain grows. A South-East Asian diplomat who talks to both sides says Chinese officials look at America’s political polarisation as proof of great-power decline. Both sides complain that conversations are superficial. Chinese and American officials, says the diplomat, are not pulling their counterparts aside for frank discussions over how to defuse tensions.

Funny, you wake up every day and start to sow discord and provoke China until you reach orgasm in your sleep.

It’s that mix of greed, fear and dependency that feeds this relationship. Not entirely unlike Germany or France, but with geographical and societal proximity thrown into the mix.

China hade fising memory?do you do hard thinks.ok ok ok?I'm take care!!?my hungry take eating!!!![joj washington dc]h!!n.

people might be afraid of bullies but no one likes them

No oil.

What will rich & poor Americans do as power moves again as it did for them from Western Europe to America, to China now?

Hesap verebilirliği getirirse kendi bacağına sıkar 😁🤭🤦

No poor country on Earth has been powerful!

With Chinese affluence power is inevitable.

Rich Western Americans have a lot to lose with the Chinese rising. How many millions have already lost with China's living standards rising even for the poor?

It’s not “America” it’s only the United States of. Please remember: America is a continent like (Eur)Asia or Africa.

Pretty sure the whole damn planet is a bit concerned.

NEWS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Santa Claus rally in the stock market has been canceled due to inflation - the cost of feeding the reindeer is way too expensive to justify flying around the world. . . ho ho ho...

Only rich White Western Americans like Biden are crying about the welfare of foreigners in Ukraine & Taiwan!

Ahem, The Taiwan Relations Act came out in 1979. So, we didn't change. Somebody else did.

Only the people worried about their investments are worried.

Hmmm this needs to be verified the Chinese are doing a wonderful job where I am

Asia belongs to Asian, they don't like the US messing around only for its good

They shouldnt be afraid because it’s going to lead to regional dominance like the Cold War, the US will spend trillions to have friends in the region to contain China

什么危险??你说说

IRAN's revolution will impact Terrorism, Russia & Nuclear Weapons, so Why the mainstream media run by Western super powers has kept deadly silence on such a critical game changing revolution in Middle East? Don't they want peace for Ukraine & Elimination of Terrorism Iran

The US is founded on genocide, slavery and wars. Its military industrial complex profits immensely from illegal and unnecessary wars of aggression. Its very hard for the US to become a peaceful and responsible stakeholder in the international community.

What's your Mastodon account?

Please fix spelling: Kassym-Jomart Tokayev (or some other consistent transliteration, with full last name and hyphen in correct place). Thanks.

And why? They shouldn't have to.

With a weak Russia, there could be an uprising in Kazakhstan because the population knows that their will be no Russia involved

Is Japan the new France? (Or SE Asia, Vietnam the new Austria?)

Imagine if China were doing the same in the Americas!

White America must accept that Yellow China won't be a pushover like non-Whites have been in the U.S. since the first White migrants in America!

American has wages 100 wars and it’s power comes from weapons and it’s sales. Military industrial complex lobbyist always wins. They invent and exaggerate ant hills into mountains when it comes to accusations against China .. the latter not at war and hasn’t wages on in decades.

One wants to fight, the other wants to trade, the war wants to rob trade, how can not affect others.
