China Foreign Policy

The attached article discussed the risks and rewards of China going global. Critically analyse China’s international expansion. Also recommend what China can do to generate further economic growth for both its local economy and discuss how this can contribute to the global economic growth.

The recent interactions of emerging and established states suggest that the existing standards of the current global economy are shifting. According to Stewart Patrick in his article “Irresponsible Stakeholders? The Difficulty of Integrating Rising Powers,” the United States must accommodate for emerging states within the global economy and refrain from enforcing their values of an open and liberal international economy in order to achieve effective cooperation. Similarly, Andrew Nathan and Andrew Scobell argue in their article “How China Sees America: The Sum of Beijingʻs Fears” that as China gains more influence within the global economy, the United States will have to respond appropriately to maintain its economic values. Both articles ultimately assert that

Hong Kong and Taiwan have claimed independence from mainland China, but political concerns are arising. Since the ruling class controls the state power, China sought its own interest and define its interest as the interest of the nation-state. Liberals would argue that Tibet, Hong Kong, and Taiwan should be respected and allow them to self-govern. Even though, China wants to gain all forms of power with trying to get ahold of these countries, it will be more of a benefit to let them self-govern and try to work together. Chinese scholars began to engage the more orthodox intellectuals in the debate over china’s interest in the 1990s. Yet, according to Qin, he would argue that China was trying to establish somewhat of a liberalism concept. Qin could have this approach since China’s most important national interest was economic development and the most cost efficient way to realize that was from China to take under their power Tibet, Hong Kong, and

The major actors involved in the Chinese challenge include the US government, the Chinese Government, US and Chinese businesses, and the American Citizens. When analyzing the hierarchy of goals for the Chinese government, it is important to note that the Chinese Communist Party is not democratically elected. Their mandate to govern has been based on China’s strong economic performance. Above all else, it is crucial for the Chinese government to maintain its economic success. 29% of China’s GDP is composed of exports of goods and services.

The process of globalisation in China has been a rapid one. China’s exponential growth since the fall of Mao has lead to increased international influence – with China now operating on an international scale.

By granting China most-favored-nation trade status the United States has started that long and difficult process of bringing China out of its international dark ages. In order to live up to the terms of most-favored-nation trade status China has had to become more open to social and economic changes. These reforms included more economic freedom, easier access for foreign direct investments. The economic developments these reforms have been to a main cause for China’s newly increased gross nation product. Over a ten-year period from 1978 to 1988 most-favored-nation trade status was directly responsible for an annual ten percent growth in China’s gross national product.

China’s ‘peaceful rise’ policy defined China’s foreign relations strategy since Deng Xiaoping promote the ‘opening up’ philosophy since 1979. China acknowledges the significance of international cooperation and global governance to its economic development, as Barry Buzan observed, ‘China put its own economic development as top priority, and deduced from that the need for stability in its international relations both regionally and globally’. What is more, in 2005, Zheng Bijian wrote that ‘China’s peaceful rise will further open its economy so that its population can serve as a growing market for the rest of the world, thus providing increased opportunities for – rather than posing a threat to – the international

Chinese socio-economic and political situation does not allow taking the capitalist road. China's national capitalism, from the second half of the 19th century began to grow, but because of the oppression of imperialism and feudalism, has not developed into an independent force. The national bourgeoisie is not completely cut off economic ties with imperialism and feudalism, political feudalism not completely courage and strength, they have the weakness, vacillation, the decision did not completely overthrow the feudal rule overthrow imperialism, the ability to fight for national independence could only depend on international capitalism to seek survival and development. China failed to develop into a fully independent capitalist society, this

While it is no secret that China seeks to become a great power, her goals are juxtapose to many other nations who sought the same goal over the last century. China is not out to impose an ideology upon the rest of the world as the Soviet Union did, nor does she plan to become a great military-industrial power as did Japan. China’s goals are multi-dimensional and seek slow and steady progress over the long run. In this respect, China is acting more like America: seeking to shape the world to fit its needs, rather than reacting to the world as others shape

For example, in the aspect of China’s economy, the country is becoming more economically active with other countries. China currently holds 1.8 trillion in foreign exchange reserves; these foreign exchange reserves come from their exports. (Lotta 36) The United States alone receives the most goods from China as opposed to any other country. With China leading in its exports, the country’s current holdings have become a leverage in today’s world economy. The rapid development of capitalism in the country will pose a threat to the powers of the United States. Ultimately, this will bring about conflict among China and the United States; China’s rise will undermine the United States’ unipolar moment, and will give China the upper hand when it comes to international relations. Resulting from this, there would be conflict over the international rules and regulations. In short, as of 2008, China’s participation in world affairs has increased, thus, allowing their economy to flourish; as this happens, China will have an opportunity to shift the laws of international affairs in their favor, and this will lead to Western powers being unsatisfied. Therefore, tension among Western order and Chinese order will prevail.

It is commonplace in disputes involving China for the U.S. to default in support of any party that has trouble with China: Philippines on the South China Sea dispute, Japan on the East China Sea dispute, and arms agreements with Taiwan (Kai, 2014). Similarly, Gerda Jakstaite concluded that under George W. Bush’s presidency, the administration declared the initiative of using engagement strategies with Russia, but in practice, containment strategies dominated (Jakstaite, 2014). This shows the inconsistency of US foreign policy. Although the US government would not describe the strategy as such, the policies the US are pursuing towards China have the features of containment, with the only controversy being over semantics.

The United States and China have long had a complex relationship. The tension between the two powers is related to the communist regime in China. The United States and China have almost always been on opposing sides in a conflict such as the Korean War, the Tibetan uprise, or the race for nuclear weapons. However, just as the United States has grown in power, China has done the same. China is and always has been the most influential state in Asia. While it has been on the world stage for sometime, its economic and military power has been undermined by more pressing international events. As China’s rise becomes more apparent, many wonder what effects it will have on the global economy and whether it will lead to conflict between the United States and China. Through the exploration of realism, liberalism, and constructivism the consequences of China’s rise can be understood.

The rapid rise in economy of China has turned this country into rival of America. However, in an effort to change the trade policies of China, stop military operations reinforce Beijing 's South China Sea from America, but that’s not enough improve diplomatic relations with 11 countries in the TPP agreement. Beijing said the United States is a force only in Asia as they want, while China will forever be a force in Asia. As candid statement of the Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong during his visit to Washington last August, the TPP will "challenge the prestige" of the United States with partners in the region. According to Mr. Li, each nation has faced some opposition political and sensitive issue in the country, pay a political price to get to the negotiating table and signed agreements but finally they cannot receive what they want. Now, United State diplomats do not have what they want in Asia, After the US told the regional partners was signed TPP will strengthen America 's leadership position in the region, the regional partner also concluded to be a waiver of TPP would undermine America 's leadership position and China is ready to be leadership position which vacated this area. In terms of the overall situation of power in Asia, the US withdrew from the TPP, that means United State is bringing the beneficial strategy for China, not only because a trade agreement supported by the United States, U.S foreign policies will be disappear forever

The purpose of this essay is to show how the economy of China has, and is changing, becoming the second largest economy in the world today. Although China is currently under the leadership of Xi Jinping, this essay will concentrate primarily on the actions undertaken by then President Mao Zedong, followed by then President Deng Xiaoping, (sans mention of Hua Guofeng). Given the relative infancy of Xi’s assumption of power, economic policies still remain largely rhetorical in form. Likewise, the majority of literature concerning economic policies under Xi are largely speculative, often citing strategies and ambitions as opposed to thereby, lacking a solid basis for rational induction In addition to China’s lack of transparency, In addition, it will be shown that the methodology behind the Chinese economy demonstrates the implementation of varying levels of the characteristics associated with the schools of Realism, Marxism and Liberalism. Thus, China’s approach to global trade in the 21st Century is pluralistic, testamentary to the failed economic

Growth in exports and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) was extremely important to China’s economic success. During Mao’s last years in power, China was inaccessible to the outside world and this was costing the country growth-wise. Other countries such as Japan and Hong Kong were experiencing rapid growth from exports as shown in Exhibit 6, and China wanted to follow in their footsteps. The country has hard-working and educated people who could help make this a reality and Deng knew this was the next step in helping the country to be among the most advanced and most improved4. The United States has always been a wise contender and is always looking for ways to better its
