The world could not afford any cold war. Perceived threat of rising China has put US under an imperial fatigue, acting under a hawkish approach of the current US regime.
The Chinese have adopted a policy of a de-ideological method of conducting foreign relations and advocates an inclusive global order based on mutual respect and non-interference.
Trump regime and its election rant would drag the situation into some confrontation but prudent Chinese response can save the world from a confrontational situation.
This was the crux of the deliberations shared by the notable experts of international relations on Tuesday in a webinar titled ‘Can the world afford another cold war’ organized by Pakistan Institute of China Studies, Sargodha University as part of its summer webinar series.
The webinar series is aimed at providing opportunity to go online for the quest for critical thinking by addressing contemporary international and national issues, and their implications on Pakistan.
