WXIX Fox 19: Experts give insight into U.S., China relations
UC faculty weigh in on what happens if the U.S. distances itself from China, and other fears
With U.S./China relations strained and tensions rising in the Taiwan Straits, there are several worse case scenarios that could play out; with economic decline and war among the scenerios.
China has a larger navy and more people under arms, making China “a major military power,” says Richard Harknett, professor and director of UC’s School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA).
SPIA was created out of the former Department of Political Science, which dates to 1914. Experts from the school are regularly cited in national and international media outlets
Harknett, and his colleague Gregory Winger, an assistant professor at SPIA, spoke to Fox 19 News Now regarding growing concerns over China; and the way in which the U.S. is intermingled with the country in everything from consumer products to technology to science.
Disruptions in the supply chain would place a heavy burden on the U.S., says Winger, but it might benefit the U.S. in the long run by making the country less dependent on China.
