The Rise of the"School of Weaponization"in US Relations with China and Its Developments
The US strategic community has been engaged in fierce debates over the interdependence between China and the United States in recent years.Three representative views have gradually formed,namely,"school of weaponization,""school of decoupling,"and"school of engagement."Since the Trump administration advocated the reconstruction of US policy towards China,the"school of weaponization"that calls for using the Sino-US interdependence to contain China's development and the"school of decoupling"that advocates severing the interdependence with China are rapidly rising,replacing the"school of engagement"as the dominant force in the US strategic community.This trend has led to a sharp decline in exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States in economy,trade,technology,and cultural communications.It has impacted the political and diplomatic relations between the two countries,and endangered regional stability and global governance.The developments of the"school of weaponization"will be influenced by the outcome of the 2024 US presidential election,policy debates over China policy in the US strategic community,the dynamic interactions between China and the United States as well as the pressure from the international community.
