Global Times: The overall gap between China and the US is getting smaller. Do you think the two countries will have more strategic conflicts than strategic cooperation? Do you think the two countries will create a new mode that will constrain conflicts effectively?

Peng: The reason why there might be conflicts between China and the US is not because the gap is smaller, but because of the power politics applied by the US. Only if the US changes its power politics is when the two can avoid conflicts.
