The Kindleberger Trap
JAN 9, 2017
JOSEPH S. NYE
CAMBRIDGE
– As US President-elect Donald Trump prepares his administration’s
policy toward China, he should be wary of two major traps that history
has set for him. The “Thucydides Trap,” cited by Chinese President Xi
Jinping, refers to the warning by the ancient Greek historian that
cataclysmic war can erupt if an established power (like the United
States) becomes too fearful of a rising power (like China). But Trump
also has to worry about the “Kindleberger Trap”: a China that seems too
weak rather than too strong.https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/trump-china-kindleberger-trap-by-joseph-s--nye-2017-01
