Given the U.S. and China’s dominant positions in the world economy, how can they ensure a functioning global economic system into the 2030s? In his chapter for the Carnegie American Statecraft Program’s volume on the future of U.S.-China relations, Fred Bergsten contends that the U.S. and China must work together to maintain a stable world economy. Bergsten argues for the two powers to pursue “functional decoupling,” agree to disagree on some security and values issues, and cooperate on global goods issues.
