This chapter discusses China's strategies in handling international disputes, with a focus on avoiding confrontation and fostering cooperation, particularly in the context of US-China relations. Through game theory models and historical examples, it introduces the concept of the “mirror tactic,” which suggests that one country's actions should mirror those of its opponent. The text explores how this tactic can help prevent escalation in trade wars and foster mutual cooperation, illustrated by case studies such as the EU-China photovoltaic dispute and US-China tariff conflicts. The book emphasizes the importance of credible commitments in international relations and the complex dynamics of global power competition.
