US should walk the walk on no new Cold War
China DailyPresident Xi Jinping meets with US President Joe Biden in Bali, Indonesia, Nov 14, 2022. I applaud Biden for saying that "I absolutely believe there need not be a new Cold War" and "we're going to compete vigorously" and "manage this competition responsibly" but "not looking for conflict". Many people believe the US has already started a new Cold War against China, given its recent wide-ranging restrictions on semiconductor and equipment exports to China, and its pressure on other countries to follow suit. The only way to avoid a new Cold War and possibly a hot war is for the US to correct the mistakes it has committed since the Trump administration, which among other things reversed decades of US policy on China. History shows that differences between China and the US can be narrowed only through more exchanges and cooperation, not confrontation or "vigorous competition", if it is a euphemism for recklessly curtailing China's rise.
