Are China And The U.S. Engaged In A 'Cold War Lite'?

Minxin Pei and Brad Carson, War On The Rocks: Jaw-Jaw: Minxin Pei Predicts a Cold War Lite Between the U.S. and China

The United States and China are headed for a “cold war lite,” says Minxin Pei. What does this exactly mean? And what threat does China present to the U.S. that would necessitate such a confrontational posture? Can China transition to a less export-driven economy or will its growth inevitably slow? What are the root causes of corruption in China? Is Xi’s anti-corruption campaign successful? These and other questions are explored in this week’s episode of Jaw-Jaw.

WNU Editor: If China and the U.S. were in a Cold War right now, even a "lite" one, U.S. tariffs will be replaced with sanctions, and U.S. - China travel will be restricted. But if this continues we are heading that way.

There's tens of thousands of Chinese spies in silicon valley alone. The Chinese visa program is a joke. It is easier for Chinese to live in USA than for the people who built that country and share the same values. Until that changes good luck

Anon is correct. Trumps national security team keeps calling out the danger Chinese nationals present inside the USA.
I expect Trump to slap severe restrictions on Chinese visas to the USA, reductions in Chinese nationals studying in the USA and severe investment restrictions on China.
Of course the tariffs stay in place permanently.

Oer the past 2 decades with Clintom, bush and Obama Amnerican tarriffs were 4% and Chhinese tariffs were 10%.

Trump levels the playing field by raising US tariffs to Chinese goods and bad people like Tom Nichols of the Naval War College and other denizens of DC and elsewhere cry real tears.

Really? 4% versus 10% was okay? Really?

Tom Nichols should be fired and/or demoted to the 1st grade. He could learn something basic like the number oline. Maybe after a long while we might learn that 4 < 10 is. Perhaps he might do this before old age and senility.

Maybe he could learn about fair play and a level playing field. Maybe in the 1990s that was okay but after 2000?

Tom Nichols should quit the Naval War College or he should quick the hack USA today Newspaper.
