China And The United States

Communication between China and the United States has played a momentous role in the development of both nations for centuries. In class, we’ve learned how nationality, politics, economics and international relations have all come into play when discussing communication between the two powers. However, throughout history we’ve seen how it has been an uphill battle for China to maintain a healthy and productive relationship with the United States, and vice-versa. A number of historical events have been accounted for producing numerous generalizations, creating stereotypes and popular opinions. Ultimately, China and the United States have dealt with a great amount of mistrust and misunderstanding that has been very formative to the nations as we know them today.

Counterintelligence is one of the most vital areas of the United States intelligence system, and is heavily intertwined with our history, laws and ethics. According to the National Security Act of 1947, counterintelligence (CI) is defined as “information gathered and activities conducted to protect against espionage, other intelligence activities, sabotage, or assassinations conducted by or on behalf of foreign governments or elements thereof, foreign organizations or foreign persons, or international terrorist activities.” It consists of five activities and functions: operations, investigations, collection, analysis and production, and functional services. In this aspect, CI is unique in that it is both an activity and its product. U.S. intelligence agencies, including the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) collect and analyze both CI information and foreign intelligence. There are many counterintelligence activities that the United States is involved in, as both CI and foreign intelligence play an important role in countering threats to our country’s national security. Among these most controversial and misunderstood activities are counterespionage and disinformation.

Like Athens and Sparta, were the United States and China drawn into a war neither power wanted because of their alliances?

The United States has the most capable intelligence apparatus of any country in the world. The information produced by various agencies gives the United States a substantial advantage when it comes to understanding world events, predicting and preparing for unsettled times, fielding military forces, and making a host of other political and economic decisions. From an ethical perspective, it means that the United States Intelligences information can create the risk of security for the United

Many view the United States as an omnipotent force that extends their influence in attempt to aid both itself and others. While this assumption of power and might may give the impression of invincibility, the large size of the United States presents a fairly easy target of espionage. Many historical instances have spoken truth to this statement, such as, the Soviet penetrations of the American government during and shortly following World War II. This act of espionage against the United States was so severe and deep that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) succeeded in accessing confidential information and placing agents in some of the highest echelons of the federal government. When this staggering sense of vulnerability is

The majority of Americans know more about China from the transformation imagines, which characterized scared Chinese, such as Drangon Lady, Fumanchu. Until now, America is still considering China as whether the peril or partner, with the influence of sinophobia. Recently, we can still see a lot of misinformed headlines about China in the media and politicians use China to scare voters, which I think are dangerous and misleading. However, the increasing number of cross-culture exchange, joint ventures and co-productions indicates the attitudes start to change cautiously and slowly. I think more America will realize that China is much more than defined by those headlines, the “world of factory”, the rapid economic

Against the advice offered by a relatively recent New York Times article, and the US State Department suggested I do, I still proceeded with my plans to travel solo to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, commonly known as North Korea in the US. While I can sympathize with the many reasons against traveling to North Korea, many develop an informed opinion with the hindsight of having visited the country themselves; further reaffirming my desire to see this country firsthand.

The Chinese government closely monitors the exchange of information and the formation of organizations. All judicial institutions are in the control of the Party, and the court system is biased in favor of the government. Liu Xiaobo, famous for criticizing Chinese communism, faces eleven years in jail. Cao Shunli, known for her role in pressing the government to adopt liberal ways, was prevented from boarding a plane to Geneva for the United Nations Human Rights Council. Xu Zhiyong, an intellectual leader of the New Citizens Movement, was also detained. Anyone else in opposition of China’s government system endures police monitoring, detention, and even torture. For “creating disturbances” and “inciting subversion,” more than fifty activists were put in criminal detention in 2013 between February and October. The Weiquan, a rights defense movement, is currently attempting to document China’s human rights abuses. In response, the government argues that the scrutiny of its human rights record is an “attempt to destabilize the country” and that human rights abuses are needed to maintain “social stability” (1). The Xi Jinping Administration has staged high profile investigations to target any political competitors. In Xi’s mind, anything liberal or democratic is immoral and corrupt, and his ideal world is one where everyone shares his visions. Because of this, he has altered legal documents to facilitate the process in imposing criminal charges against activists and internet critics (1). The infamous “Great Firewall” restricts outside content from Internet users. Websites like Google are replaced with Chinese revisions in favor of communism. The media undergoes intense censorship so that nobody loses his grasp on how great communism is. Southern Weekly, a news source known for pushing China’s

As we know, different people from different country or region have different characteristics which depend on place they live, climate and what they eat. Since the culture difference appeared, each group of people’s perspective of value will not be the same, such as—achievements.

“There is no place where espionage is not present” (Sun Tzu, n.d.). Since the creation of man, espionage has existed. Why is this? Men have tried to answer this question century after century, but to no avail. The Egyptians, Romans and present day empires fail to understand why someone commits espionage. Hence, espionage will never be completely defeated. The United States of America (US), like most developed countries in the world, rely on intelligence organizations to identity and prevent acts of espionage. However, what is an organization to do when it is one of your own employees who is committing espionage? In 1986, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) realized a very troubling fact; all of its human sources located in the Soviet

Espionage is spying on other countries to obtain confidential information about the procedures with government and military. The world has used espionage as a means of knowledge acquisition for many years, and the United States is well known for use of intelligence agencies for spying, conducting covert operations, and funneling money to sway foreign elections or to remove foreign leaders from power. Intelligence agencies were developed to utilize precautionary strategies and tactics in strengthening security and defense of the country. The history of the United States intelligence agencies has been to develop a system where terrorists, drug cartels, money launderers and others are stopped by elite forces. Currently,

The United States and South Korea are both developed countries in opposite sides of the world. Consequently, the challenges that the education field faces in regards to mental health are different. First, a concern discussed in regards to mental health in schools in the United States is how to deal with the different challenges that arise in children with learning disabilities. There is a lot of debate whether or not these children with special needs should be educated on inclusive education, or not. These challenges are further worsened when it comes to different resources that are available in schools. Because of the lack of funding that many schools face, it makes it harder for the school to help these children thrive in school. However, in South Korea most children who are considered to have learning disabilities are put on inclusive education the majority of the time to help them not only in their education but also in ways that they can better adapt to society once they are done with school.

In 2012, President Obama asked Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, “ Why Don't we make iPhones here in America”? It is inferred that Obama was asking Steve Jobs this question because he , Obama, would like these jobs to come to America. Steve Jobs responded to the President by saying “ Those are not coming back [ to America]. After some research, it is very apparent as to why Apple Produces their iPhones in China rather than producing them in America, which can be seen by looking at opportunity costs of moving to America and labor productivity.

According to Friedberg, China and the U.S. are on their way to compete for international power and influence. In his work, he reviews an emerging Sino- American rivalry that continues to intensify due to the power gap narrowing. This rivalry is not due to erased misperceptions and policy errors. However, it is due to power politics and differing ideologies. Both the U.S. and PRC have objectives that threaten interests of the others side. The United States promotes “regime change” in China. They wish to have China move from an authoritarian means towards liberal democracy by peaceful and gradual methods. Even though both have differences, they see the benefit in continuing their economic relations. Author claims that we focus on the more

Relation between the Peoples Republic of China and the United States have generally been stable with some period of tension, especially after the breakup of the Soviet Union which removed the common enemy and ushered in a world characterized by American dominance. There are also concerns which relate to Human Rights in the PRC and the political status of Taiwan.
