China v US: Both need co-operation, not confrontation

After China made a sudden U-turn from its zero-Covid policy last month, the country is dealing with a lot of difficulties, including technology trade war and travel restrictions.

This week sees China release its growth figures - and there'll be an important meeting between the US treasury secretary Janet Yellen and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He. Over the last few years there has been an increase in rhetoric from the two, but in the current global economic situation, US and China need co-operation instead of confrontation.
