This policy outlook explores the main dynamics of great power competition between the US and China and aims at outlining how this situation might affect global security architecture. The competition might become dangerous, with the possibility of conflict if China continues to grow, and the US acts to undermine its position. Additionally, the difficulty of distinguishing the true intentions of another country can produce erroneous reactions. The intense security competition requires both countries to be prudent in their actions and adopt precise rules that mutually constrain their behaviour.
