Submission Statement: Transatlantic partners are closer in their assessment of China now, but their efforts to meet the China Challenge have proven ineffective. Daniel Hamilton explains how a transatlantic divergence can undermine a common approach to the China challenge. Current transatlantic perspectives on China reflect different strategic positions, with different tools, and with different senses of urgency. Contentious disputes remain and could simmer over in 2025. Tariff wars, digital service tax retaliations, and other clashes could drag transatlantic partners into an escalating spiral. To confront the China Challenge, transatlantic allies and partners need to continue their truce on tariffs and taxes. Otherwise, they might fall into a conflict, which will only benefit China.
> China Challenge
oh new term i see
Hilarious article. The Americans threaten the integrity of NATO, threatened the territorial sovereignty of allied nations and now themselves are threatening Taiwan with tarrifs.
How long will this delusion last? Probably indefinitely, but the failure from American institutions to wake up to the fact that the Obama era was over nearly a decade ago is apparent. Things were stagnat under Biden but Trump is already going nuclear on relations with friendly countries.
The Americans simultaneously want to threaten allies while also expecting them to help counter China? No, now how that works. That’s how you keep pushing countries into their sphere of influence and cementing it.
Washingtons arrogance and willingness to throw allies under the bus will blow up her pacific strategy eventually too. Withdrawing troops from Korea? It’s on the table too, apparently. Every thing is in Trumps America.
