Bloomberg New Economy Conversations: Risks of U.S.-China ‘Decoupling’

The US-China trade war has morphed into a tech war, a talent war, and an investment war. Now, a new battlefront has opened up over Covid-19. Instead of working together on a global public health response, the two sides are trading blame. This rivalry threatens the entire system of international governance, from trade to pandemic control. What will it take to rebuild trust between the two superpowers? Andy Browne, editorial director of Bloomberg New Economy, speaks with Cui Tiankai, Chinese ambassador to the United States, Kevin Rudd, Former Prime Minister of Australia, Mikko Huotari, executive director at Mercator Institute for China Studies, and Susan Shirk, chair of the 21st Century China Center School of Global Policy & Strategy, on "Bloomberg New Economy Conversations: Risks of a U.S.-China Decoupling".
