U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warns of a potential new Cold War if the U.S. and China don't repair their relationship, which he calls “completely dysfunctional.” Guterres spoke to AP ahead of the U.N. gathering of world leaders this week.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres spoke to The Associated Press this weekend ahead of this week’s annual United Nations gathering of world leaders — a convening blemished by COVID, climate concerns and contentiousness across the planet.

He reiterated that warning in the AP interview, adding that two rival geopolitical and military strategies would pose “dangers” and divide the world. Thus, he said, the foundering relationship must be repaired — and soon. “Now, today, everything is more fluid, and even the experience that existed in the past to manage crisis is no longer there,” Guterres said.

After all, he said, the United States and many other countries had thousands of soldiers in Afghanistan and spent trillions of dollars and weren’t able to solve the country’s problems — and, some say, made them worse. Guterres said Biden’s commitment to global action on climate, including rejoining the 2015 Paris climate agreement that Trump withdrew from, is “probably the most important of them all.”

CCP China can quit the UN since it’s the enemy of whole world.

The UN is not in charge over here.

Nobody trusts anybody because everybody is like themselves.

Isn't odd that 2014/2015 was the same year they agreed on both the 2030 Agenda and the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA). Now the focus is entirely on climate change and Covid. Has the AP investigated the relationship between the Global Health Initiative and the 2030 Agenda?

That's the last thing the planet needs on the brink of mass extinctions. We should be cooperating and working together but unfortunately the last American administration put us on a road to nowhere.

The Chinese have a centuries outlook on their position in the world. Their leaders aren’t interested in a quick fix and have no problem waiting out the west while we stew in our own juices. The US on the other hand have no patience with anything and always want a fix right now.

Defense contractors at the thought of another Cold War

No this can not be true Biden said everyone loves them

Both China and the US are literally killing the planet, so it won’t matter soon.

What’s wrong with our relationship to China? It can’t be all bad! The last president was pushing trademarks for his companies with them, so what’s the problem?

good

It sounds like a distraction.

TikTok Maker Caps Screen Time for Youths in ChinaThe maker of TikTok said it would restrict access to Douyin, the Chinese version of the app, to 40 minutes a day for users under 14 years old, in the latest move to curb screen time for younger Chinese users Jokes and autocratic societies notwithstanding, this is actually not a terrible move. I dont know about 40 minutes, but in the context of proliferating mental health disorders that we know this and similar applications are promoting, significant restriction isn't a bad thing. Your bets. Will totalitarianism be able to cover Europe and the United States in the next 20-40 years?
