U.S.-China Diplomacy Can Manage Risk but Not Resolve the Systems Contest

At a Hoover Institution discussion on U.S. strategy toward China, Sarah Beran, Matt Turpin and Miles Yu argued that diplomacy with Beijing remains necessary but cannot resolve the deeper contest between the two countries. Beran framed the task as risk management through leader channels, alliances and domestic renewal; Turpin described a long hostile rivalry that will run through trade, technology and economic statecraft; and Yu said the problem is systemic incompatibility that Washington should confront more directly.
