US And China Pause On Tariffs, But Why A Trade War Is Still Brewing | When Titans Clash

Temporary truce has been announced in the US-China trade war but experts warn the heated superpower rivalry is far from over, and that the battlefield is actually expanding. The trade war has brought a surge of nationalism within China, further intensifying the country’s efforts to try and overtake the United States in the areas of artificial intelligence, sciences and technology.

Amid disputes between the Trump administration and top schools like Harvard, China has also stepped up its efforts to recruit scientific talent of Chinese descent. And as tariffs cause uncertainty in Global South markets, China’s leaders tour ASEAN nations, and host leaders from Latin America, to solidify its geopolitical position.

How has the trade war impacted the long-term prospects of the US in the ongoing superpower rivalry? Experts weigh in.
