【ANBOUND GEOPOLITICAL REVIEW】 Against the backdrop of the U.S.-China relations, some have advocated the concept of a "High-Tech Cold War" that has garnered certain support within China. While facing restrictions on technology and science, one must maintain composure and patience. Solutions to these issues should be sought through negotiation, public opinion, cooperation, and communication. That is the proper approach to deal with technological competition and its resolution, based on normal international relations. Escalating confrontation and clamoring for war will not help address the issues. On the contrary, it may hinder understanding and sympathy in the international relations arena and may not necessarily be in China's best interest, remarked

>> As deglobalization and geopolitical competition intensify, the new world production map will continue to evolve, gradually achieving a new balance in the new era. In the next world production layout, different countries and regions generally have their positions and basic divisions of labor. The cooperative relationships between countries and regions will also be influenced by this basic pattern. Countries and regions such as Africa, Russia, parts of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and South America are major regions for exporting mineral resources, belonging entirely or partially to the "primary production" zone. Mainland China and Taiwan fall within the areas of partial primary and secondary product manufacturing. India and Southeast Asia may become major areas for manufacturing primary and secondary products in the future. Europe (Western, Southern, and Northern Europe) holds a predominant position in global production as a major cultural output and a limited systemic output area. The United States, Japan, and South Korea could potentially become areas for high-tech development and systemic output. Certain South American countries, including Mexico, are potential areas for systemic output and advanced product manufacturing. For China, which played a significant role as the "world's factory" during the era of globalization, its future development faces new challenges. From the perspective of the global production hierarchy, China's future development direction should opt for "systemic production", as noted in an article jointly written by

>>Following the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) securing another term in the Taiwan region’s recent leadership election, a reshaped political landscape and heightened complexity in the Taiwan Strait are anticipated. This outcome has likely triggered strategic adjustments within various parties, potentially leading to further intricacies, making it more challenging to peacefully resolve cross-strait issues. Based on the current balance of interests and risks, it cannot be ruled out that there may be a possibility of "limited joint risk management" in the Taiwan Strait between China and the United States to prevent a significant deterioration of risks in the area, according to an ANBOUND analysis.
