Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a clear message in his meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden on November 16, local time, in Lima, Peru: Thucydides' Trap is not a historical inevitability. A new Cold War should not be fought and cannot be won. He also stressed that "Small yard, high fences" is not what a major country should do; only openness and sharing can advance the well-being of humanity. Is it inevitable for China and the U.S. to fall into "Thucydides' Trap"? Or will the two countries manage to find a way to coexist in the new era through stronger dialogue and exchanges, proper management of differences, and expanded reciprocal cooperation? What will be America's choice? Tune in for an in-depth analysis from CGTN host Xu Qinduo on the past, present and future of China-U.S. relations.
