"To keep their competition peaceful, China and the US must:
🔺 preserve military deterrence without turning it into provocation
🔺 channel their rivalry into institutions and public goods rather than military confrontation
🔺 keep ideology from hardening every disagreement into a zero-sum struggle"
Both sides need to realise there will be no ‘winner’ in their rivalry. Instead, they can learn to coexist through mutual restraint and continued engagement.
