What's the US strategy for a new Cold War? | DW News

Should the US aim for all-out victory in a new Cold War against China? Or should its goal be "managed competition" - prioritising keeping a lid on tensions so they don’t erupt into all-out conflict? That's the big debate unfolding among US strategists ahead of the presidential election later this year. DW's Richard Walker spoke to one of the most influential voices on China on the Republican side: Matt Turpin, former Director for China in the National Security Council in the Trump administration. Turpin argues that the US is not investing enough to face up to this contest, which he says is already viewed as "existential" by the PRC. They discuss the risks and opportunities of such a strategy, how to envisage a possible endgame, and what this contest means for the rest of the world.

The Chinese ambassador to the US said they want to coexist with the US and the US ambassador to China said they won't live in a world dominated by Beijing. You guys see everything as a zero sum game. You are incapable of diplomacy or compromise because according to your way of thinking the US must get it all or they get nothing.

I agree with you my friend. America is the trouble source on our planet. They cannot contend with another superpower in their sphere of power and influence. America doesn’t know how to exist with another superpower, she must and has to be the only superpower. No two things can occupy the same space at the same time in America’s mind. China doesn’t want war but America does. America always wants war, death and destruction. China is interested in one thing; getting the poorer countries out of poverty and up on their feet to start developing for themselves. What great temerity of a country to have with their fellow human beings. Not supremacy, domination or nationalism. That old ideology is going down with the sun.

Nominal GDP is often misleading. China currently produces more than half of the world's steel and leads in numerous sectors, including automobiles, ships, machinery, and electricity. In terms of cost efficiency, $20 spent on the U.S. military is equivalent to just $1 in China. Similarly, a doctor's visit for the flu might cost $1,000 in the U.S., while the same visit in China might cost around $20. The reality is stark: the emperor has no clothes.

This guy Turpin is advocating to use the play book of the Soviet Union. He talks about nothing but increasing the military budget. That is how the Soviet Union failed. And he is so happy that Japan is increasing its military budget too. Given the condition of the Japanese economy, Japan may prove to be the weakest link in that chain of Asian allies whom he counts on to contain China. Does he fantasize that he is still living in the United States of the 1950s, when the US had the biggest and most advanced industrial system in the world? When the US was the creditor to the world? When domestic society was united and the political class wise and institutions strong? Vastly increase military spending from 2.9% of GDP to 5.0% of GDP? How do you finance it? You better get a better bond salesman than Janet Yellen. Since Turpin was a senior official of the Trump Administration, I suppose he is a republican. Good luck convincing his fellow republicans to raise taxes. Vastly increase the military budget. Does he fantasize that engineers and machinists and welders and electricians will magically appear when you wave a stack of dollar bills in the air? Does he know how the United States responded to the "Sputnik" challenge? The US did not just increase military budget; they launched a lot of programs to promote science and engineering education, down to the high school level. Does this guy Turpin even know there is such a monster in the US called student loans? Does he fantasize that he is still living in the United States of the 1950s? Does this guy Turpin know anything about American foreign policy during the Cold War? Why do you think Nixon, the hardest of the hardliners, decided to start a relationship with China? The oldest rule of power politics is "divide and rule". Since you already identified China as your biggest problem by 2016, why did you not pull a Nixon plot on China and cut a deal with Russia? What good does Ukraine in NATO do for anyone? What I see is a spectacular performance: declaring China to be the biggest problem and starting a major European war half the world away. Does this guy Turpin know that more than 80% of the world population lives in the Global South? Does he know that China is building stronger and stronger relationships with these continents? If it is a second cold war, I suppose that the competition will take place all over the world. Not even mentioning 85% of world population is not a winning strategy. Good luck.

The Liberal World Order, that came out of WW2, to prevent wars as devastating as that from happening again. Democracy and human rights becoming the norm. Dictators, tyrants, strong men, and authoritarian leaders no longer welcome.

Who's the aggressor when the US has 315 military bases surrounding China.? If that's not enough the US is getting Taiwan, Australia, India, Philippines and Japan to fight another proxy war. Peace is the biggest threat to the US but the biggest asset to China.

He is a typical warmonger in the US. China should be blamed for all the issues and let’s borrow more money to spend on war machines. Oh, some of the money will be borrowed from China and use China’s money to fight China😂

Every other country can look out for their own interest except for Russia and China. This is the rule base order for everyone besides Russia and China. Now I totally understand.

Tibet belongs and will belong to China forever because Tibet was a barbaric society with serfdom, from which China liberated and developed. This is the view of the CCP and most Chinese people. It is difficult to coexist with a country that espouses such blatant imperialism and colonialism.

[@TuhunluunBionoid]

Eh, that’s not how it is. Tibet is part of China because it has been part of China for centuries, since 1300s. It’s part of China through political integration, not war. It’s part of China and British wanted to invade a century ago through British India and CIA has been supporting the separatists ever since because Anglo Saxon like to play the game divide and conquer. As for liberating Tibet from serfdom that’s more like the American north didn’t like the American south keeping the slaves back during the civil war, has nothing to do with the claim on sovereigty.

[@TuhunluunBionoid]

What’s blatant imperialism and colonialism is British invaded Tibet in 1903, and US sending CIA to support a puppet Tibetan government lead by Dalai “little boy please suck my tongue” Lama to this day.

[@TuhunluunBionoid]

Don’t forget, British colonialist invaded Tibet in 1903, trying to steal Tibet from China. That’s not imperialism and colonialism?

[@arcticfoxsa]

It's a part of China because China invaded and conquered the nation in the 1950's. Same for Manchuria. Same for East Turkmenistan. PRC is an invasive empire.

[@ming-e4j]

Then you did not know that it has been the US navy patrolling the world's ocean safe since the end of WW2. That it was the US navy that made international trade, and thus China's export-driven economic growth, possible. Yay! You learnt something today!

Deluded by he hubris of the premise here that the the US that was defeated by the Taliban that was armed with little more than a mean attitude and AK47s, in Afghanistan, is the big dog in the yard, what precisely would the US do if the Japanese decided to pull the trigger and pick up where the Japanese Empire of 1945 left off, and put a new one together via the overthrow of the Chinese government, etc. Anyone . . ?
