The competition between China and the United States is intensifying, but not a life-or-death struggle. US is now changing its approach to China from the stick and carrot policy to a stick-dominated policy.

If the US looked down at China in the past, it only starts to be level. Hao Yufan, dean of the faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, University of Macao |
