Visiting Washington last week, it was striking how commonplace talk of war between the US and China has become. That discussion has been fed by loose-lipped statements from American generals musing about potential dates for the opening of hostilities.
Those comments, while unwise, did not spring from nowhere. They are a reflection of the broader discussion on China taking place in Washington — inside and outside government. Many influential people seem to think that a US-China war is not only possible but probable.
The rhetoric coming out of Beijing is also bellicose. Last month, Qin Gang, China’s foreign minister, said that “if the US side does not put on the brakes and continues down the wrong path . . . confrontation and conflict” between the two nations is inevitable.
As they try to stabilise relations with China, US officials are now looking at the cold war — not as a warning, but as a potential model. Several cite the detente period of the 1970s as an example of strategic stability — in which two hostile superpowers, both armed to the teeth, learnt to live with each other without going to war.
Detente was only achieved after going through the dangerous crises of the early cold war. It was after what one US official calls “the near-death experience” of the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 — probably the closest the world has come to all-out nuclear war — that Washington and Moscow recognised the need to stabilise their relationship. | |

Harry Belafonte has died at age 96. He was a dedicated activist and award-winning actor and singer. He sold millions of records and starred on stage and screen before scaling back his career and becoming a relentless supporter of civil rights and other causes. Belafonte not only participated in protest marches and benefit concerts, but helped organize and raise support for them. He worked closely with his friend and generational peer the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., often intervening on his behalf with both politicians and fellow entertainers. He died Tuesday of congestive heart failure at his New York home. | |

France’s electricity workers are threatening to pull the plug at the Cannes film festival as part of ongoing protests over pension changes.
Members of the National Federation of Mines and Energy – a branch of the powerful CGT union – have announced “100 days of action and anger” that is expected to hit the movie industry’s annual event as well as other sports and cultural meetings.
The announcement was made last week following the pledge by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, of a 100-day action plan to improve the daily lives of his compatriots after three months of demonstrations over his new law raising the official retirement age to 64. | |
