American Thought Leaders-Chris Balding: How Does China View the Sino-US Cold War?

Chris Balding describes what he calls an “intellectual difficulty” that many US officials seem to be facing in their reluctance to accept the fact that the US and China are in a de facto Cold War with each other. Whether the US wants conflict or not, Balding says, is irrelevant. What is important for the US is to look at how China and CCP leader Xi Jinping view the situation, and react to that.
