The porcupine dilemma: US-China diplomacy is about distance, not deals
Original: Opinion | The porcupine dilemma: why US-China diplomacy is about distance, not deals
A new opinion piece argues that US-China relations are best understood through the 'porcupine dilemma' — the idea that both powers manage their rivalry by keeping a careful distance rather than pursuing closer agreements. The author suggests that diplomacy between Washington and Beijing is less about striking deals and more about managing spines and space, shaping how the world's two largest economies coexist.
Why now: Ongoing tensions between the US and China keep debate about the right diplomatic approach to their rivalry active.
