The article discusses signs that a new Cold War between the U.S. and China is unfolding, citing military exercises in Taiwan and heightened cybersecurity threats. It notes the appointments of China hawks in the U.S. administration and references Niall Ferguson's assertion of an existing Cold War for the past five years.
