NEW DELHI/WASHINGTON: With its new vision document on China, the US has formally announced the onset of its Cold War with the Asian giant, accusing it of exploiting rule-based world order and re-shaping international system in favour of Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) ideology and interests. Just short of calling it Cold War, the US in its latest report titled, 'United States Strategic Approach to the People's Republic of China', released by the White House, has announced that it is "responding to the CCP's direct challenge by acknowledginga that the two major powers are in a "strategic competition and protecting" their "interests appropriately". Coronavirus lockdown: Latest updates Until now, the US policy towards the People's Republic of China (PRC), the report said, was "largely premised on a hope that deepening engagement would spur fundamental economic and political opening" in China and make it a "responsible global stakeholder, with a more open society". However, after over 40 years, "it has become evident that this approach underestimated the will of the CCP to constrain the scope of economic and political reform".
