Chi­na is one of the old­est cul­tures in the world with a rich his­to­ry. The ancient Mid­dle King­dom is today’s People’s Repub­lic of Chi­na. For sev­er­al cen­turies pri­or to the cre­ation of the PRC, Chi­na endured inva­sions, occu­pa­tions, civ­il wars and famine. Today it is an eco­nom­ic pow­er­house. Its influ­ence is expand­ing across the globe. How­ev­er, rela­tions between Wash­ing­ton and Bei­jing have become increas­ing­ly con­fronta­tion­al. Sec­re­tary of State Blinken warned Chi­na not to upset what he called the rules-based order” and any­one who pos­es a chal­lenge to that order, we’re going to stand up and defend it.” He not­ed Chi­na is act­ing more aggres­sive­ly abroad.” At the same time, the Pen­ta­gon sends its war­ships off of China’s coast and sur­rounds Chi­na with Amer­i­can mil­i­tary bases. Wash­ing­ton sees Chi­na as a threat to its hege­mo­ny. A new Cold War is brewing.
