From Powell to Wolfowitz to Colby, a common thread emerges: the pursuit of stability through control.
Three different organizations, three different domains, the same underlying instinct: don’t wait for the conventional path to open up, build a completely different one.
Some American scholars increasingly see stable coexistence as the more realistic path for China-U.S. relations.
Major countries can break free from zero-sum logic and jointly chart a new path for state-to-state relations rooted in mutual respect, solidarity and win-win outcomes.
