PR-2023: PANEL DISCUSSION 3. China – U.S.: Competition, Interdependence, Global Context

The U.S.-China competition is becoming protracted, and the consequences of this confrontation are spreading to many spheres of the world economy and politics. As mutual political trust between the two countries decreases, the threat of military conflict is growing. What can Washington and Beijing do to maintain peace and stability in Pacific Asia? The volume of trade between the U.S. and China, which had grown enormously over several decades, began to decline in 2023. Does this mean a retreat of economic rationality under the pressure from geopolitical goals? The initial premise of the "trade war" was the expectation that China was too dependent on export markets and would therefore be forced to accept American demands. The Western policy of "decoupling" and "risk reduction" have been accompanied by an expansion in the use of trade barriers and technological bans. If the world moves towards a new bipolarity, what will happen to the global economy, how inevitable is the prospect of the emergence of parallel production systems, standards and markets? Are the U.S. and China ready to become leaders of two rival blocs?
