Only by integrating development and security and combining internal structural reform with external openness and cooperation can China effectively counter multi-dimensional U.S. strategic containment.
My thoughts are with that the Central Kingdom does effectively implement the recommendations proposed in this article.
I believe the present Trump 2.0 policies present short-term difficulties for the Central Kingdom, but if it resists bravely and wisely, potentially quite great opportunities in the longer-term. Probably without realising it, Trump's policies keep degrading the US' international prestige, as they cement its profile as a fearsome bully, which however only fuel resentment. The way that Trump is risking doing that with his most important trade and security partners, as the economic blowback eventually - very possibly quite soon - erupts, the Central Kingdom could have its best chance yet to promote the international institutions reform it has been preaching for a quite a while - currently not-that-friendly nations towards the Central Kingdom will be under societal pressure to become open to new alternatives.
