Fragile US-China ties need to be handled wisely an hour ago Andrew Bacevich, Tribune News Service Has a new Cold War, this one pitting the United States against the People’s Republic of China, commenced? Rhetoric coming out of Washington, amplified by hawkish media commentary, appears to take a Second Cold War as a given, something perhaps even to be welcomed.

OPINION: A profoundly evil man died on Boxing Day, though one would hardly have known it from the entirely judgement-free tone of his obituaries. George Blake started spying for Joseph Stalins Soviet Union in 1953, and by the time of his arrest in 1960 he had copied no fewer than 4720 pages of secret intelligence for the Russians, and betrayed the identities of over 350 MI6 agents to the KGB.
