  • The Sino-American World Conflict
    SWP Research Paper Peter Rudolf The Sino-American World Conflict Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik German Institute for International and Security Affairs SWP Research Paper 3 February 2020, Berlin Abstract ∎ The Sino-American conflict syndrome contains several elements. It is based on a regional status competition, which is increasingly becoming global. ∎ This competition for influence has become combined with an ideological antagonism that has recently become more focused on the US side. ∎ Since the United States and China perceive each other as potential mili- tary adversaries and plan their operations accordingly, the security dilemma also shapes their relationship. ∎ The strategic rivalry is particularly pronounced on China’s maritime pe- riphery, dominated by military threat perceptions and the US expectation that China intends to establish an exclusive sphere of influence in East Asia. ∎ Global competition for influence is closely interwoven with the techno- logical dimension of American-Chinese rivalry. It is about dominance in the digital age. ∎ The risk for international politics is that the intensifying strategic rivalry between the two states condenses into a structural world conflict. This could trigger de-globalization and the emergence of two orders, one under the predominant influence of the United States and the other under China’s influence.
