“I think in many ways the relationship is headed toward a new Cold War or at least we’re at the very beginning of a new Cold War,” says Ben, clarifying that “It’s an economic war.”

“Essentially what we’ve done – we’ve weaponized the market in a way ‘Let’s harm China as much as we possibly can to slow down its dominance, certainly to slow down their ability to influence other nations around the world,’” he says, adding that China’s Belt and Road Initiative “is very problematic for the United States.”
