Open letter to Trump: China is not an enemy
100 China experts in US say worsening ties do not serve American or global interests
Charissa Yong The Straits Times
An open letter from 100 well-known China experts in America, critical of Washington's adversarial stance towards Beijing, has highlighted - and fuelled - the ongoing debate in the United States over how to deal with China.
The public pushback from moderates was prompted by concern over worsening US-China relations, amid a hardening anti-China line from Trump administration officials and a festering trade war that has spilled over to competition in technology and other arenas.
Their letter was addressed to President Donald Trump and members of Congress, and published in The Washington Post on Wednesday. Headlined "China is not an enemy", it outlined the authors' problems with the current US approach to China and laid out their tenets for a better foreign policy.
