#USChinaTensions
The tension between the USA and China has been ongoing for a long time, but in recent years, these relations have become even more complicated. Let's look at the main areas:
1. Trade and Economic Competition
The USA has long been unhappy with the sharp imbalance in trade with China.
The trade war (especially during the Trump era) deepened with tariffs and mutual embargoes.
The USA accuses China of unfair trade practices and intervening in the market with state support.
2. Technology and Digital Power
Huawei, TikTok, semiconductors – these are just a few examples of technology battles.
The USA views Chinese technologies as a security risk and tries to dissuade its allies from cooperating with China in this area.
China, on the other hand, is trying to strengthen its technological independence with strategies such as "Made in China 2025."
3. Taiwan Issue
Taiwan is one of the most sensitive topics. China considers Taiwan part of its territory, while the USA, although officially adhering to the "One China Policy," sells arms to Taiwan and provides support.
This could escalate military tension to a peak.
4. South China Sea and Military Activity
China is creating artificial islands in the region and claims them as its own.
The USA, on the other hand, asserts its presence in the region with military ships based on the principle of "freedom of navigation."
What do you think this confrontation will lead to? Can the USA and China come to an agreement at some point, or will this competition continue for many years?
