In Four Principles to Guide U.S. Policy Toward China, the Atlantic Council s Ali Wyne suggests a weakened America needs to accommodate the People s Republic of China.
China also cannot get along with the United States, which maintained China-friendly policies for more than four decades. In fact,
People s Daily, the most authoritative publication in China, in May 2019 carried a piece that declared a people s war on America.
China s unrestricted warfare on the United States has taken a toll. Recently, Chinese leaders deliberately spread the coronavirus beyond their borders, making deaths in America mass murder as well as genocide, as that term is defined by Article II of the 1948 Genocide Convention.
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Nowadays, when something bad happens in America, the popular game in Washington is to make bets on how fast Russia and Vladimir Putin will be accused of being responsible. Therefore, it was no surprise to hear exactly that about the Jan. 6 events on Capitol Hill.
One could obviously dismiss Hillary Clinton, who apparently still suffers from 2016 sore loser’s syndrome, when she said she would “love” to look at President Trump’s phone records to see “whether he was talking to Putin the day that the insurgents invaded our Capitol.”

If former U.S. president Donald Trump was a wake-up call for Europeans that they need to take more responsibility for security and defense, Europe lost too much time in the past four years discussing abstract notions of strategic autonomy while making only piecemeal progress toward becoming a more capable security actor.
1 With the new administration of U.S. President Joe Biden recommitting the United States to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the challenge facing Europe could be the very opposite: how to avoid relapsing into complacency and lazy transatlanticism.
Instead, Europe must capitalize on Biden’s election to finally deliver on becoming a stronger security player in its own right and, in so doing, a stronger partner to Washington. That starts with the Europeans assuming greater responsibility for their Eastern and Southern neighborhoods and contributing more to addressing hybrid and cyber threats.
