Abstract

This chapter establishes a connection between China’s mishandling of North Korea’s denuclearization and the outbreak of the trade war with the U.S. Despite their interdependent relationship characterized by asymmetrical dependence, China found itself in a de facto submissive position during the trade war. However, China’s perception of American power as being in irreversible decline proved to be a significant misjudgment. This overconfidence, amplified by China’s early success in managing Covid-19, intersected with America’s realist impulse of intolerance toward China as a peer rival. These dynamics fueled the escalation of the trade war into a new Cold War, with high-tech supremacy at its core.
