Las relaciones entre los Estados Unidos y China, y la decadencia relativa del poder estadounidense (editorial del Global Times)

Aquí les dejo un interesante análisis sobre el estado actual de las relaciones entre los Estados Unidos y China, a partir del reciente diálogo en Zurich, publicado en el diario chino Global Times.

El texto está salpicado con agudas observaciones sobre los límites y la decadencia relativa del poder estadounidense, y reflejan confianza en el ascenso imparable de China en el sistema internacional. Los siguientes dos párrafos, en particular, son verdaderas perlas para guardar:

“China's fundamental strategy of not making principled concessions and insisting on doing its own thing is taking effect. The US side always says it wants to speak "from a position of strength," but its strength is far from sufficient to achieve its ambitions to contain China's development. The US has been hit hard by the COVID-19 epidemic, which has killed more than 700,000 people so far. It has not only plunged the US economy deeper into abusing stimulus mode, but also exposed the fundamental weaknesses of the US system and weakened its global influence.”

We hope to see China-US relations find constructive changes. However, there are still many obstacles for the two sides to move closer in terms of their perceptions and expectations toward each other. The US has a deep hegemonic mindset, and it won't engage in reflection unless it fails. China must, by doing its own things well, make the US realize that ultimately it is impossible to contain China's development. By sticking to this approach and direction, US' China policy will gradually adapt to reality. The US will seek maximum interests by exploring coexistence and cooperation with China.
