The downward spiral in US-China relations

Available for over a year

The downward spiral in US-China relations has been described as the 21st Century Cold War: the downward spiral in US-China relations. The issues are numerous: the coronavirus pandemic, a bitter trade war, human rights concerns and accusations of corporate espionage. Iraq’s coronavirus infections rocketed by 600% in the month of June. The country’s health system — already worn down by years of war and poor investment — has been overwhelmed by the rising numbers. The prominent South Sudanese activist Peter Biar Ajak has accused the government in Juba of sending a hit squad to Kenya, where he was living, to abduct or kill him.
