US misconceptions about mutual dependence

At the Vision China event in New York on Sept 12, Inaugural President and CEO of the George H. W. Bush Foundation for US-China Relations David Firestein noted that historically, mutual dependence was seen as a means to reduce conflict and enhance security. However, he observed that now the US views this dependence as a risk, leading to efforts to decouple. Firestein emphasized that this zero-sum mentality is causing both nations to miss valuable cooperation opportunities. #VisionChina #USChinaRelations #MutualDependence
