Former Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell stated that the U.S. must collaborate with allies to effectively counter China's growing influence, a strategy contrasting with former President Trump's approach.

He noted Trump's ambiguous stance towards China, designed to keep both China and elements within the U.S. guessing.
