A lot is going to turn on whether America once again chooses a confrontational indeed military stance towards this rival it has. And we're we're in the early days, but that's what's scariest about the future. The latest defense spending bill for the US is around 850 billion for China. It's around 230 billion give or take depending on exchange rates. So there is still a massive gap and that should be maintained.
In part two of our debate 'Is America a force for good in the world?', foreign policy experts Shadi Hamid and Samuel Moyn discuss the return of Donald Trump, American exceptionalism, and what the world would look like if China became the world's only superpower. Our host for this debate is journalist and academic, Philippa Thomas.
