US-China strategic competition to keep escalating as world watches on, Rudd says

President of Asia Society and ex-Australian prime minister points to full-on and complex rivalry ‘in every dimension’ for superpowers

“There is a full-blown strategic competition under way in every dimension of national political power and influence, militarily, economically, trade and investment and technology, in foreign policy, in ideology,” said Rudd, a noted China scholar.

“It’s across the world, everything, everywhere, all at once.”
