Graham Allison : Is war between China and the US inevitable?

Graham Allison at We the Future  (transcript)
Is war between China and the US inevitable?
Summary
I’m very surprised that there are people who want to have a war between the U.S. and China and the reason is rising China.

I’d thought that one country which was bigger could contribute to other countries, though, it’s wrong.

The speaker shows that 2500 years ago, the reason of the war in Greece had been the rise of one and the reaction of the other one. Not only pride and arrogance but also, even, provocation of a third person leads to wars, history repeats itself always, and this time also, nobody has a feasible plan for escaping history as usual.

We people must learn history, must have an order for peace and prosperity, however, we must condemn people who refuse to study history.

This is the plan that war between China and the U.S. is inevitable.
