China's Economic Resurgence Sparks Tensions With U.S. But Conflict Could Damage Interconnected Global Economy

China's explosive economic growth in recent decades is just a return to its historical share of the global economy, according to Deutsche Bank analysis.

China feels its growing power is normal given its economic history over past centuries.

Tensions between China and the US stem from China's rapid catch-up with the US economy since the Global Financial Crisis.

Historically, tensions between a rising power like China and an established power like the US often end in conflict and war.

A war now could significantly damage the highly connected global economy, which may deter conflict.
