The rivalry between the United States and the People\u2019s Republic of China has intensified in recent years, turning into a multi-dimensional strategic contest that is reshaping the global order. The confrontation is no longer confined to economic or trade matters, but now extends to technology, energy, security alliances and geopolitical influence.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Washington describes the relationship as \u201ca fierce but responsible competition,\u201d Beijing insists it \u201crejects confrontation and seeks cooperation based on mutual respect and shared interests.\u201d Official statements from both sides reflect a delicate balance between cooperation and deterrence.<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to remarks made by US President Donald Trump, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry reaffirmed its firm opposition to any form of coercion or political pressure, stressing that energy cooperation between China and Russia complies with international law and does not harm any third party.<\/span><\/p>\n

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Liu Pengyu said China strongly rejects unilateral and illegal sanctions, the expansion of extraterritorial jurisdiction, and any attempts at coercion or pressure. He emphasised that economic relations between Beijing and Moscow do not harm the interests of others and must be respected and protected.<\/span><\/p>\n

These remarks came after President Trump claimed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had informed him that India would stop purchasing Russian oil and urged China to do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement to the Russian news agency <\/span>Novosti<\/span><\/i>, the Chinese Embassy affirmed Beijing\u2019s readiness to enter a trade war with Washington, if necessary, though it remains open to dialogue. It stressed that the United States cannot demand a resolution to the trade dispute while continuing to threaten tariffs \u2013 a position that underscores China\u2019s insistence on defending its national interests while avoiding direct confrontation.<\/span><\/p>\n

This evolving reality affects not only bilateral relations between Washington and Beijing, but also the global economy, supply chains, and political and military alliances across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Experts and officials agree that this competition is not a new Cold War in the traditional sense, but rather a complex race for influence and dominance in an increasingly multipolar world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Economic and Strategic Dimensions<\/b><\/h2>\n

Dr Bassam al-Zu\u2019bi, a Jordanian writer and economic analyst, told <\/span>+963<\/b> that the rivalry between the United States and China is primarily economic in nature, though it sometimes involves political friction. \u201cChina,\u201d he said, \u201cis generally not interested in political disputes, especially with the United States.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He explained that China\u2019s focus remains firmly on economic development \u2013 expanding industries, strengthening global partnerships, and boosting demand for Chinese products to ensure continued growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to al-Zu\u2019bi, the United States sees China\u2019s rise as both an economic and political challenge, yet it cannot fully confront Beijing economically, as many major American corporations have substantial investments and dependencies in China, particularly in advanced industries.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that China is building broad and diverse international partnerships, forming strategic economic alliances with India, Russia and Saudi Arabia, and expanding cooperation with Europe in areas such as automotive manufacturing and solar energy. This diversification, he said, enables China to strengthen its global economic ties and sustain long-term growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Al-Zu\u2019bi ruled out the possibility of a military conflict between the two powers, saying such a scenario is unlikely given their shared interests. \u201cNeither the United States nor China would risk open war,\u201d he noted.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also pointed out that the economic relationship between the two countries has global repercussions. \u201cChina is a key hub in the global supply chain,\u201d he said. \u201cAny tension may affect shipping and insurance costs, but these issues remain manageable because shared interests govern the relationship.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Middle East in the Balance<\/b><\/h2>\n

Al-Zu\u2019bi noted that relations between Washington and Beijing tend to remain cautiously balanced, as both have too much to lose. \u201cChina always prioritises its economic interests,\u201d he said, \u201cwhile the United States often leans towards political provocation. Still, their relations remain largely stable \u2013 what we see publicly doesn\u2019t always reflect what happens behind closed doors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He explained that economic considerations usually outweigh political ones, particularly in the US\u2013China relationship. For Middle Eastern states, the priority is to strike a balance between political and economic interests, despite occasional American pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Powerful regional players such as Saudi Arabia, China and Pakistan have strengthened their partnerships with Beijing through political and economic cooperation based on mutual benefit \u2013 sending a clear message to Washington that modern international relations are built on shared interests, not traditional alliances.<\/span><\/p>\n

Al-Zu\u2019bi concluded that Saudi Arabia aims to maintain balanced relations with all major powers through a Saudi\u2013Chinese\u2013Russian\u2013Indian alignment, which poses a challenge to the United States. \u201cWashington may view this as a shift in its traditional alliances,\u201d he said, \u201cbut changing global dynamics and the logic of shared interests mean the US must adapt to a new multipolar reality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Strategic Competition<\/b><\/h2>\n

Brigadier General Mounir Shahada, former Lebanese government coordinator with UNIFIL, told <\/span>+963<\/b> that US\u2013China relations have undergone a major transformation over the past decade. \u201cThey have moved from engagement and cooperation to comprehensive strategic competition,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He explained that this competition spans multiple domains \u2013 economic, technological, military and geopolitical \u2013 making it distinct from the old Cold War, which was defined by ideological divisions and economic separation between the two powers.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Shahada, the current rivalry involves battles over global economic leadership, supply chains and trade networks, as well as a race for technological supremacy in artificial intelligence, semiconductors and telecommunications. Military and security tensions are also rising in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, driven by China\u2019s naval expansion and ongoing arms competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

He noted that each power relies on different tools. The United States leverages alliances such as AUKUS and the Quad, imposes sanctions on Chinese firms, and uses global institutions like the IMF and World Bank to sustain the Western-led order. It also projects soft power through media, education and democratic diplomacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

China, on the other hand, focuses on the Belt and Road Initiative to strengthen its economic reach across Asia, Africa and Europe, invests heavily in advanced technology, and uses financial and infrastructure projects to build influence in developing countries. It also cooperates with Russia, Iran and other Global South nations to counterbalance US power.<\/span><\/p>\n

Managed Competition<\/b><\/h2>\n

Shahada said that while the risk of open war remains low, flashpoints such as Taiwan and the South China Sea could trigger dangerous escalations. \u201cBoth sides understand that a direct conflict would be economically and globally devastating,\u201d he said, \u201cso they prefer managing competition over open confrontation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that the current trajectory points to \u201cmanaged competition\u201d rather than all-out conflict, as both sides recognise their mutual dependence in global trade, climate action and market stability.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, deep strategic mistrust persists. Shahada argued that the United States, along with NATO allies, continues to pursue confrontational policies in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, increasing the risk of regional or even global conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said China feels increasingly encircled by US military presence, noting that Washington now operates 18 naval bases around Chinese waters. \u201cThe long-term outlook,\u201d he said, \u201cis for a prolonged contest for influence \u2013 with intermittent tactical calm but no full reconciliation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Shahada concluded that US\u2013China rivalry is reshaping the world by dividing global trade into competing blocs and shifting influence toward emerging Asian powers such as India, Vietnam and Indonesia. Developing nations, he said, are trying to benefit from both sides without taking sides.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Middle East,\u201d he added, \u201chas become a testing ground for this delicate balance. The US remains the region\u2019s main security power, while China expands economically through energy and infrastructure investments. Countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt are pursuing balanced strategies \u2013 seeking economic gains from China without losing US protection.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In closing, Shahada said: \u201cThis is not a new Cold War but a multidimensional contest between a dominant power defending its position and a rising power seeking a system that reflects its weight. The future will depend on whether both can manage competition without sliding into military conflict \u2013 and on how the world adapts to a more multipolar order.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
