The Deteriorating Trust in US-China Relations.
US-China relations are on a dangerous path with no trust on either side, according to political observers. Tensions have been rising over the years, ranging from trade and tariffs to tech rivalry and alleged spying. The recent shooting down of an alleged Chinese spy balloon triggered Secretary of State Antony Blinken to cancel his trip to Beijing over the incident last month. Both countries are equally guilty of mismanaging their relationship, and Washington needs to figure out its intentions toward Beijing.
