Martin Jacques: If US-China competition is not a new cold war, then what?
It is four and a half years since previous US President Donald Trump assumed office, marking the beginning of the US assault on China. The first six months of Biden's presidency have seen a continuation of America's anti-China stance. The fundamental line of continuity between Trump and Biden is their position on China. This supports the argument that America's shift on China, far from being some kind of Trumpian quirk, is in fact deeply rooted in American politics and society. We should not be surprised by this. The benign period of cooperation between the US and China from 1972-2016, 44 years altogether, was underpinned on the US side by two propositions: first, that China's economic rise would never challenge America's economic ascendancy; and second, that as China modernised, it would inevitably Westernise and in time become a Western democracy.

Ding Gang: Afghanistan pullout signals US faith is losing ground
One Sunday in late fall, I was driving with a friend to Newtown, a small town in Connecticut. The editorial staff called and told me that American troops were already on the ground in Afghanistan. They asked me how the local people were reacting. The quiet life in this small town is a stark contrast to the war thousands of miles away in Afghanistan. I even remember when I interviewed two high school students in New York, they couldn't even find Afghanistan on a map.

Chen Dingding: The US Needs a New China Strategy
The United States is currently facing a China policy dilemma. Since President Joe Biden took office, Washington has been more than eager to demonstrate the importance of strategic competition with China. Unfortunately, as the administration has approached the first half year of its tenure, major confusion still exists among senior staff and policymakers in Washington about the best way to deal with China. The United States needs a better strategy, or at least a clear elaboration on its approach to China.
