Is United States ready to pay for the war with nuclear China?
A US publication wrote in a report referring to the US focus on China whether the US knows the cost of the nuclear war with China and the casualties that this war will bring.
Jake Sullivan, the US National Security Adviser, spoke in a recent interview with the Levy Institute about reducing tensions with China, saying the United States recognizes that China will become a key player in the international arena in the foreseeable future.
In a report referring to China’s growing international power, the US National Security Adviser stressed the need for healthy and effective competition with China, National Interest reported.
“We are not looking for a new Cold War and we are not looking for conflict,” Sullivan added. “What we are looking for is effective competition with de-escalation measures to ensure that things do not turn into conflict.”
“Given the capacity to cooperate with China, this will be in the interest of both countries and the interests of the international community,” he said.
What Sullivan and his subsequent conversations did not mention in the speech was the phrase “Taiwan,” and incidentally, on the same day, news broke that members of the US Congress had visited the island.
Surprisingly, the day after Sullivan’s remarks, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the United States and its allies would respond if Taiwan was attacked or the island was changed by force.
Of course, Blinken made no mention of the US response, but Reuters wrote in a report that the remarks appear to be a departure from the long-standing policy of “strategic ambiguity”.
The United States has abandoned its policy of ambiguity over China’s borders
All indications are that in recent days the United States has abandoned its policy of ambiguity over China’s borders.
Not surprisingly, China has become the subject of much controversy in recent months, and this has disintegrated not only the foreign policy community in general but also the American realists.
