Live on BBC News, The Asia Group’s Han Lin commented that “Regarding U.S-China tensions, in the immediate term, the US holds significant leverage. However, China is playing a long game and has its own sources of resilience. While the US can dictate the pace and pressure of the conflict in the short term, China is digging in for a protracted struggle. It’s less about who has the ‘upper hand’ and more about who is better positioned for a long-term contest of attrition.”
