It will be interesting to see how much of Thucydides Trap plays out in currency and trade as opposed to military conflict. I am hopeful that economic and financial warfare absorbs the brunt of the power struggle.
China has some internal documents that address the Thucydides Trap with a Chinese idiom, "There are no just wars in the Spring and Autumn Period."
I, for one, would appreciate if we could just move on past these incessantly destructive power struggles as humanity.
Can you elaborate a little? I suspect it is a well known concept, but its the first time I heard of it in this context.
