> But it is not obvious what kind of diplomacy on China’s part could have avoided an eventual confrontation.
China could stop talking about conquering its neighbor. Hard to believe that's not the main substance of the problem.
Also, not exactly diplomacy, but if foreign businesses were still perceiving a friendly and profitable environment, it would take a lot of the wind out from behind the critics. Trump might still have happened, but he would have been just a phase.
Mr. Tooze should tone done his adjectives if he wants to look as a serious analyst. "Blood soaked" attributes towards Russia, is probably something he never used with respect to the US.
Everything seems to hinge on America's blind eye to China's economic war on us. The moment America refuses to import more from China than it exports, the whole system collapses.
Thanks for phenomenal analysis. Enjoyed reading.
