As China finds itself plunged into an economic crisis, faced with a United States that is resisting economically, it appears that Beijing's catching up, at least economically, with Washington will have to wait. In his book Destiny for War, Graham Allison had in fact applied the theory of the "Thucydides trap" to the rivalry between China and the United States, highlighting the risk that the overtaking of China by the United States would lead to a confrontation between the two powers, Washington being unable to bear being overtaken. If the two candidates for the US presidential election, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, have both affirmed their desire to contain the rise of China and that the Chinese "threat" was part of NATO's strategic concerns, the question now arises as to whether Beijing has, beyond ambition, the means to compete with Washington. So should the relationship between these two powers be perceived solely through the prism of rivalry? Should we really consider that China's economic and demographic growth is at a standstill? How is Europe positioning itself with regard to the Sino-US rivalry? Beyond the "Thucydides trap", can we envisage a policy of détente between Beijing and Washington? How is the Sino-US rivalry expressed in the wars in Ukraine and Gaza? In this respect, what is the nature and state of relations between Beijing and Moscow and how is China positioning itself with regard to Gaza? In this podcast, André Chieng, President of AEC and Vice-President of the France-China Committee, shares his analysis of the issues surrounding the rivalry between China and the United States. 00:00: Introduction 00:13: The possibility of a "détente" between China and the United States? 15:15: What place does Europe have in the Sino-US rivalry? 16:52: The China-Russia relationship 21:51: France's role in China-NATO relations 25:22: China and the Gaza conflict 27:22: End For further information: ????
