If the US approach to relations with China does not change, this could lead to an escalation of the conflict. According to Western experts, a direct confrontation with Beijing could bring great losses to both sides. In this regard, the next US president is recommended to focus on strategic interaction and cooperation to maintain stability in the region.
Despite the sharp rhetoric of U.S. politicians during the election campaign, analysts stress the importance of finding compromises. Higher tariffs and a larger military presence in the region could exacerbate tensions, especially from Taiwan's perspective.
Experts say Washington must strike a balance between containment and cooperation in its dealings with China. Diplomacy, economic integration, and technological cooperation are important components of a stable relationship between the two countries. Despite the inevitable competition, the risk of a complete breakdown in economic ties could have detrimental consequences for both the United States and China.
Instead of a zero-sum approach, the United States should rethink its goals toward China, focusing on maintaining global stability and solving global problems. Continuing a hard line without adequate diplomatic support could increase the likelihood of a direct military clash, experts say.
