China In Context How does the current state of US-China relations compare to the Soviet-US Cold War?
The Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States lasted for nearly four decades, casting a shadow of fear across the world. Nowadays, with China and the US locked in a constant arms race and tussle for influence, many people - including President Xi Jinping - have warned that a new Cold War is upon us. In this podcast, the Director of the SOAS China Institute, Professor Steve Tsang, spells out the dangers during a conversation with the Editor of Asian Affairs magazine, Duncan Bartlett.
