CHINA-US: PROMINENT CHINESE ACADEMIC WANG JISI SAYS RISK OF ACCIDENTAL CONFLICT BETWEEN US AND CHINA IS HIGH

The South China Morning Post (February 3) reported that Wang Jisi, President of the Institute of International and Strategic Studies at Peking University, during an interview with Shenzhen Satellite TV on February 1, said that the risk of an accidental military conflict between China and the United States is high despite efforts by both countries to ease tensions. He said he was neither optimistic nor pessimistic about US-China relations this year but there was a risk of accidental conflict. Wang Jisi said “I believe that we have a guarantee of peace. The leaders of both nations have repeatedly stressed in their conversations that they do not want a new cold war or a political war, or a hot war.”
