Why the US Should Pursue Cooperation with China Jeffrey D. Sachs

Cooperation is not cowardice, as American conservatives repeatedly claim. Both the US and China have much to gain from it: peace, expanded markets, accelerated technological progress, the avoidance of a new arms race, progress against COVID-19, a robust global jobs recovery, and a shared effort against climate change.
Like no-brainer. Except the US would have to forego "full-spectrum dominance," which is a step too far, it seems.

And Jeffrey Sachs appears to be under some illusions about President Biden in this regard. It seems to me that he is looking too much at what is said and ignoring what is being done.
