Recent developments in U.S.-China relations highlight a complex interplay of geopolitical rivalry and climate policy. Experts, including Rory Truex from Princeton University, caution U.S. policymakers against overreacting while maintaining American strengths. Andrew Harding from the Heritage Foundation criticizes the U.S. climate policy for increasing dependency on China, describing the situation as 'Chinese Handcuffs'. In-person meetings between U.S. and Chinese climate envoys in Washington underscore the tensions. Harding expresses concerns about China leveraging its climate agenda to compromise U.S. energy security. Additionally, Southeast Asian states play a delicate role amidst these rising bilateral tensions.
