A new Cold War? Rising tensions between the US and China

The UK, USA, and Australia announced a joint programme to build more nuclear submarines, and declared that China poses the biggest threat to the world economy of any country.

It came following the inauguration of China’s President Xi Jinping’s precedent-setting third term in office, where he called for the country to modernise its military to make it a "Great Wall of Steel".

On the Sky News Daily, Sally Lockwood is joined by our US correspondent Mark Stone, and Asia correspondent Helen-Ann Smith, to explore the rising tensions between the superpowers, and if the US-China relationship has any hope of cooling off soon.

US are pissed because the dollar is being jeopardised

[MrKenng]

I certainly hope this won't be the case. We have had enough problems across the globe already.

I find it intriguing how we're willing to make new subs for Australia yet we're barely able to pump them out ourselves...

WHY ARE WE STILL PUTTING UP WITH THESE POLITICIANS??!!!

A hot air war more like. Babbling politicians.

Granted I was only eleven when the Soviet Union collapsed, but I made it through the first one all right. Plus, it'll be funny when the freaks start calling egg rolls freedom rolls.

At least the Chinese have a people, country and borders of their own... unlike western nations.

It's time for the US to tuck itself in next to a warm campfire and a sunny lake. Stay by themselves and think about our next stages in history. Maybe we need to separate ourselves and refocus our future. A quiet time away.

Australia and the UK better not be tied to a chariot by the US, there's no benefit in being America's dogs
