How the EU and U.S. Could Become Partners in Addressing the China Challenge

October 21, 2020

But Trump’s tactics also make this a fight between China and the United States, allowing the Chinese leadership to mine the feelings of nationalism generated by the “Century of Humiliation” (百年耻辱) that started with the 1839-42 Opium War.
