The conflict between the US and China has its roots in the 19th century, with the Opium Wars and the subsequent colonization of China by Western powers. The 1992 Consensus and the One-China policy have been key factors in shaping US-China relations.
The conflict between the US and China is a complex and multifaceted issue, with deep historical and structural roots.
By centering the perspectives of indigenous Taiwanese and Hong Kong communities, we can gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics at play. Establishing a dialogue mechanism, promoting economic cooperation, and supporting indigenous communities are key solution pathways for addressing the conflict and promoting greater understanding and respect. Ultimately, the conflict between the US and China reflects the broader tensions between Western and Eastern values, and requires a nuanced and multifaceted approach to resolution.
