Why China is Challenging US Superpower Status Now

In light of current tensions in the bilateral relationship between the US and China, a panel of experts discusses its state and challenges for the future.

After decades of engagement, the US-China relationship is at one of its lowest points. Tensions increased as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, the 2019 trade war, and the US being vocal about human rights issues and China’s growing military influence in the region. Why is China is more aggressively asserting its power and challenging the United States now? As the world faces multiple challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, can the United States and China collectively address issues of common interest or will their competition dominate future relations?
