Since the end of World War 2 the United States of America is dominating world in terms of political, economical and technological means.
Apparently they will be having a competitor, not now but within 10, 20 or 30 years time from now on.
China.
Basically the USA has seen the threat. They know that if they lost their technological advantage, they will not be able to protect their economical and political dominance.
Which means that the USA and China have very deep conflicting interests. They both want to be the super-nation of the 21th century.
Many people think that the struggle between these two nations is all about the USA President Donald Trump and is limited to the trade measures taken reciprocally.
Unfortunately, this may not be the case.
What we are experiencing right now might be the starting steps of a new type of cold war and will have significant effects on the future of international trade, international finance and international relationships of the nations.
As a result each of us should understand what is going on between China and the USA.
On today’s post I have gathered best documentary movies explaining the tension between China and the USA.
