China lashed out at the United States on Tuesday, with the foreign minister accusing Washington of stoking tensions between the two powers and warning of "conflict and confrontation". These geopolitical and economic superpowers have clashed in recent years over trade, human rights and other issues, but relations soured even further last month when the United States shot down a Chinese balloon it said was being used for surveillance -- a claim strenuously denied by Beijing. For more on the heightened tensions between Washington and Beijing, FRANCE 24 is joined by Dr. Yujen Kuo, Director Professor at the Institute of China and Asia-Pacific Studies, National Sun Yat-sen University.
