  Description: </strong>For the past ten years\, the United States and Chin
 a have been locked in a competition for who has the greatest global influe
 nce. One major point of contention is the status of Taiwanese sovereignty\
 , which has become even more relevant recently with the possibility that R
 ussia&rsquo\;s invasion of Ukraine may prompt China to take similar action
  regarding Taiwan. How will the United States engage a China which is incr
 easingly seeking to expand its sphere of influence?&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong
