ABOUT THE TOPIC
The more things change, the more they stay the same, or so the saying goes and so it seems with the relationship between China and the U.S., except maybe this time things are on a particularly dangerous downward spiral. Security worries already have produced an arms race, a deterioration in trade and economic relations, and reduced cultural and educational links. How did we arrive at this juncture and what can be done about it, by both sides?
