 <p>The International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) First Deputy Managing Director Gita Gopinath warned that BRICS member China and the U.S. rivalry risks becoming Cold War II. The IMF official began stating that all developments between the two countries are now <strong>“at a turning point.”</strong></p>

 <p><strong>“In the Cold War, it was the US and Soviet Union, now it is US and China. But the stage on which these forces are unleashed is fundamentally different along several dimensio</strong>ns,” she said. She cautioned that <strong>“fault lines are emerging as geo-economics fragmentation is increasingly a reality.”</strong></p>

 <p>Gopinath stressed that the US and China are already “o<strong>n the brink of Cold War II.” </strong>The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="IMF" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/imf.html">IMF</a> official stated that the markets will not decline drastically if Cold War II breaks out. However, she explained that investors will not experience gains for a long period if such a situation comes. The move will inadvertently lead to market crashes in the coming years.</p>

 <p><strong>“If we descend into Cold War II, knowing the costs, we may not see mutually assured economic destruction. But we could see an annihilation of the gains from open trade. Ultimately, policymakers must not lose sight of those gains. It is in their and everyone’s best interest to advocate strongly for a multilateral rules-based trading system and the institutions that support it,”</strong> she said.</p>
