The U.S.-China rivalry is undergoing significant transformation as economic interdependence recedes, largely due to Trump's tariffs that have initiated a decoupling of their economies. The historical context of shared interests, which previously moderated tensions, is changing, leading to an increase in instability and new risks. This shift is also affecting traditional U.S. allies, which may seek to assert greater independence, illustrated by actions within the European Union. The implications of these changes are vast, signaling a turbulent phase in global power dynamics.
The U.S. actions under Trump are sowing seeds of distrust among traditional allies, altering their willingness to support Washington's efforts against Beijing.
The U.S. and China, intertwined by $600 billion in goods and $70 billion in services, face a decoupling that risks escalating their rivalry.
