WORLD / CROSS-BORDERS By Dong Feng Published: Mar 14, 2021 07:48 PM Bloomberg published a series of opinion articles in late February, arguing that Germany, the Philippines, India and Djibouti may decide the US-China cold war. However, experts from various countries told the Global Times that these articles have been focusing on a US-China competition, analyzing the differences between the new Cold War between China and the US and the competition between major powers in the past. The West has two options: It can regard China's advancement as a chance for a complete restructuring of the world economy, environmental policy, and for the building up of collective security structures - or it can start a new Cold War, making conflict, economic sanctions, military threats and ideological struggles the central axis of its politics.
