The China and US need to venture on the path that leads toward restored mutual trust, by focusing on common interests and fighting common enemies, ...
BEIJING: As Graham Allison of Harvard University has warned, “When a rising power like Athens, or China, threatens to displace a ruling power like Sparta, which had been the dominant power in Greece for a hundred years, or the US, basically alarm bells should sound.”
The second path would lead to a more adversarial arrangement, with China and America each seeking to weaken the other. Returning to Allison’s historical paradigm, it is worth remembering that while Sparta emerged as the winner of the Peloponnesian War, it nonetheless suffered a subsequent decline, opening the way for the peripheral Greek kingdom of Macedon to rise to power under Philip II.In today’s case, once China determined that COVID-19 was a serious threat, it made huge sacrifices to contain the virus, thereby creating a window of opportunity for the US and the rest of the world to start preparing.
