Why perceptions of being \\u201csoft\\u201d on China will increasingly be a political liability in the US.\\xa0
\\nSynopsis: Each fourth Friday of the month, The Straits Times\' US bureau chief Nirmal Ghosh presents an Asian perspective of the biggest global talking points with expert guests.
\\nRelations between China and the US are in for more rough weather with bipartisan consensus on China in the United States, a new House Committee hawkish on China, and visits to Taiwan by US lawmakers imminent which are bound to upset Beijing.
\\nFind out why intensifying political contestation in the United States in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election will have an impact on relations with China.
\\nIn this episode, to assess the path ahead for the contentious and fragile relationship, Nirmal Ghosh hosts Joshua Kurlantzick, senior fellow for South-east Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations, and Dr Adrian Ang, Research Fellow at the Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) in Singapore.\\xa0

\\n06:13 House Committee on China Chair visiting Taiwan in late spring will further strain the relationship
