The U.S. needs to find a way to carefully coexist with China, not pursue an endgame of regime change in Beijing, Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said Wednesday.
Speaking at the Stimson Center here, the Biden administration’s key official on the Indo-Pacific was responding to a recent article in Foreign Affairs that argued that America’s competition with China must be won, not managed.
The goal of U.S. policy should be “a China that is able to chart its own course free from communist dictatorship,” wrote former deputy national security adviser Matt Pottinger and recently retired Rep. Mike Gallagher, former chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.
The pursuit of such a path would be “reckless and likely unproductive,” Campbell countered.

I mean if you asked me, the very idea of so casually plotting the regime change of the second largest and most powerful nation on earth is the height of hubris.
