## Resource

Chinese President Xi Jinping invoked the Thucydides Trap, a historical theory warning of war between rising and established powers, during his meeting with President Trump. This theory, based on the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, suggests that tensions between China and the US, fueled by Chinas military buildup and push into the Pacific, could lead to conflict. Xi warned of potential clashes over Taiwan, while Trump and Rubio maintained the USs stance on Taiwan policy. Despite this, Xi aims for a new model of US-China relations, seeking joint rules to avoid crises and maintain cooperation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
