Kevin Rudd on the ‘decisive decade’ between USA and China

Are we in the middle of Cold War 2.0? | The Bottom Line, 24 Feb 2022    Within years, China will overtake the United States as the world’s number one economy, and China’s influence is spreading worldwide – mostly at the expense of US global leadership.
