US claims cooperation, pushes confrontation ; ambivalence weakens possibility of Ping-Pong Diplomacy 2.0 Hu Yuwei Published: Apr 24, 2021 08:36 PM Photo: Li Hao/GT A Saturday commemoration of Ping-Pong Diplomacy was seen by observers as more relevant when China and the US have increasingly confrontational relations and require flexible people-to-people exchanges to retain positive exchanges and push forward cooperation, observers said.
