Quick Glance: US-China Conflict: The Role of the Party
- The US House of Representatives established a special panel to counter Beijing's growing global influence. Committee Chair Mike Gallagher emphasized the need to differentiate between the CCP and the Chinese people.

- Past periods under the KMT and Deng Xiaoping serve as points of comparison. Western concern over China was previously not ideologically driven, but has evolved over time due to political and economic developments.
- China's increasing seclusion and the leadership's self-assurance under Xi have led to tensions. The US government aims for a balanced relationship but warns against destabilizing actions. The future of US-China relations remains uncertain.
