The risk of an “accidental conflict” between the US and China has risen as a result of the heightened tensions between the two sides, a number of current and former officials have warned.
While they said it was difficult to imagine a full-scale conflict breaking out, they warned that the current strategic, technological and ideological stand-offs between the two sides would inevitably damage relations even if they are able to reach a trade deal.
Their warnings echoed recent comments by former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger, who told a forum in Beijing last month that even a “relatively minor crisis” could spiral out of control, giving as an example the start of the first world war.
