Cutthroat competition or active cooperation? That’s a question left hanging after the first meeting between the Chinese and U.S. senior officials last week. For years, the U.S. has launched trade wars and hurled human rights accusations against China. China on Thursday slammed some foreign companies, including H&M, for banning cotton from northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region citing the use of “forced labor.” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said “forced labor” in Xinjiang is a complete lie and a smear campaign concocted by some anti-China organizations. After last week’s fiery exchange in Anchorage, U.S. State Secretary Blinken met his NATO counterparts in Brussels on Tuesday, telling them the transatlantic security alliance should be “focused on some of the challenges that China poses to the rules-based international order.” Can the China-U.S. ties under Biden administration weather mistrust? Tian Wei talked to Stephen Roach, a senior fellow at Yale University’s Jackson Institute of Global Affairs and a senior lecturer at Yale’s School of Management.
