Battles, propaganda and the threat of cyber war are building tensions between two global superpowers.

So our China and the U.

S.

Entered a new Cold War.

Theo.

Cold war between the US and the Soviet Union was driven by a contest off capitalism versus communism.

The two countries fought by backing opposing sides in proxy wars around the world, and there was a constant threat off a possible nuclear war.

Help.

China and the US are not getting on right now.

America can no longer ignore the fundamental political and ideological differences between our countries.

They have targeted each other, using propaganda about the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.

Yeah, and instead of a space race, the two countries are now competing to develop a vaccine out.

This new Cold War is also less about nuclear fears and more about a cyber war.

Spying was at the heart of the Cold War, and now it is happening online, carried out by an army of hackers.

Both the US and China have accused each other of hacking into government, military or business networks.

The US also fears Chinese tech could be used for spying.

But if China really as big rival and Soviet Drescher waas China's finances and tax arm or linked with Western systems than the Soviets.

War, so decoupling These could hit economies on both sides.

China's military power is weaker than the U.

S, but it is going and it's Navy has overtaken the U.

S in size.

Two regions could raise the heat in this battle.

The US is building ties with Taiwan, but China says Taiwan as a breakaway province that will eventually be part of the country again.

Okay, and China lays historical claims to the South China Sea.

But this is disputed by many countries, and its strategic position as a global trade route makes this ah flashpoint.

If this new type of Cold war escalates, it could impact the cost of our goods.

But disrupting the global supply chain and countries may be forced to take sides.

Nobody is certain what China or the US want the end game to be.

But if this calculated Cold War escalates into a very real hot war, what will either side really achieve?
