U.S.-China relations have reached a low since their rapprochement in the 1970s. Can focusing on shared global challenges offer a way out of rising tensions? In her chapter for the American Statecraft Program’s volume on the future of U.S.-China relations, scholar Rosemary Foot argues that concentration on shared-fate issues may offer the two countries a path toward stabilization. She suggests joint efforts in climate change, nuclear arms control, and A.I. regulation could stabilize bilateral ties and offer a path toward coexistence.
