The West has a conundrum on its hands when it comes to dealing with China. What is best for the West in relation to China ranges somewhere on the sliding scale of being hard-nosed and de-risking our economies and security concerns by disengaging from China and confronting their expansion, to the other end of the spectrum where we hope that we never have a conflict and that we can just keep going along trading and being pals and ignoring issues that arise out their expansion and international law violations. The question you then have to ask yourself is: which elements of engagement with China do you support and which elements require a tougher approach?  Topics covered are: Taiwan, South China Sea, China’s support for Russia, Global economics, critical supply chains, cyber threats and military threats.
