A New “Consensus“ in U.S.-China Policy

by Dr. Karin L. Johnston
Karin Johnston is a lecturer at the School of International Service at American University and the University of Maryland, College Park. We asked her to analyze how the United States is approaching China in 2023 across the different branches of government and party lines. She observes: “Attitudes have hardened against China, forming around them a different consensus – that China must be countered at all costs, and at all levels of engagement – economically, technically, militarily, and diplomatically.”

In her introduction, Karin Johnston points out that: “The end of the decades-long U.S. policy vis-à-vis China has inaugurated a consensus on a new foreign policy approach to China that is, at the moment, reflexively confrontational, with both sides caught in a pattern in which each action is met with a counter-reaction.”
