The War Against Terror and China's Treatment of the Uigher Ethnic Minority

Between the two main parts of this attack, the events and the mentalities of these nations, I believe it is better to discuss the mentalities of these actors first. China, was a major part of this problem and yet still was

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.

In time, China was hoped to find that social and political freedom is the only basis of that greatness. The United States has helped nurture this change by cooperating with China where possible, without allowing the differences that do exist, such as human rights, and nonproliferation commitments to interfere.

In correlation to Stalin’s Russia, Mao’s China shadowed through the darkness of an intensive economic crisis, generally referred to as, ‘The great leap forward’. The campaign lasted over a decade despite the catastrophic events that made China and its economy go downhill. Although Mao’s efforts were too colossal to go unnoticed, the monstrosity of a decade lead Mao to slowly fade in the background. Consequently, Zedong’s acquaintances, Deng Xiaoping and Liu Shao-chi, rose to power to rectify the situation. Deng and Liu’s attempts to restore China – after the period of the great leap forward - may have been an optimistic road for the two officials. However, for Mao Zedong, it was far from the ideologies he obtained from the very beginning. Mao’s return in 1966 was merely to enforce his socialist principles, underpinning the Cultural Revolution.

During World War Two China was considered the USA’s greatest ally in Asia. In 1949 when China was taken over by the the communist, many people were shocked. The subsequent search for an explanation of what took place in China shook-up the US government creating poisonous blame and accusations that would set back America diplomacy and foreign policy for many years.

Be brutal, be tough.” He mentioned time and time again how America will not be beat if he has anything to do with it. Trump’s biggest political clash with Obama is Obama’s demeanor toward China and the Chinese government. Trump states that "I know the Chinese. I 've made a lot of money with the Chinese. I understand the Chinese mind.” He understands that the “Chinese mind” is not looking to help America. In fact, it is actually seeking to destroy America and its economy. Our current president, Obama, is simply obeying all of their wishes. “He plays nice with a China that is doing everything it can to destroy our economy, while refusing to stand up for America with Middle Eastern oil mobsters who think they can hold us hostage through higher prices at the pump, and chucking billions in stimulus money to his friends and supporters while letting the rest of us foot the bill.” Donald Trump wants to dig America out of the hole Obama has created because if Obama’s apologetic attitude continues, America will continue to look weak to enemy countries. Trump believes, due to Obama’s idiotic actions, that there is a growing threat from China. According to Trump, “China is rapidly growing their economy and military, and are producing brilliant students to continue that growth.  For every one American, there are four Chinese citizens, yet China is manipulating its currency and is

During the 1950s and 1960s, the Maoist government in China implemented a socialistic economy wherein the state controlled nearly every aspect of national and economic development. The process of making the Chinese economy public took the better part of the decade, but resulted in an explosive rate of expansion. Both the nation’s industrial and agricultural sectors grew exponentially until finally reaching a tapering off point during the late 1960s.

Beijing accused President Lee Teng-hui of abandoning the “one china” policy in 1999. The “one china” policy had governed relations between the two countries for nearly 30 years, Beijing no longer wished to negotiate until Lee Teng-hui disclaimed his statement. This all occurred when Lee Teng-hui said his relationship with china as a "special state-to-state relationship”. Lee denied abandoning the “one china” policy and never disclaimed his statement. With growing concern, America sent two aircraft battle groups over when they thought this would lead to an invasion, but Beijing threatened to destroy them. The invasion never happened, due to the exercises ending shortly after American ships arrived. The relations have been tense for decades, China calls Taiwan a renegade province, and claims that Taiwan rejects.

The China completely changed compared it to before and after the Tang and Song dynasty. In terms of economy, population and social class, these changes are very important. The transformation didn’t happen overnight but happened in a slow process across two dynasties.

Today, in the oil-rich Xinjiang Province of Northwestern China, millions of Turkic-speaking Uyghurs live in constant fear. Beards and headscarves banned. Mosques barred from broadcasting the azan, the Islamic invocation of prayer. Unjustified rape of Uyghur women. Protesting for basic human rights gets you written on a list of pan-Turkist counter-revolutionaries. Receiving phone calls from foreign relatives gets you a visit from the secret police. And still, to the apparent dismay of the CCP, the ethnic identity of Uyghurs still exists, after decades of state-sponsored repression. Why do the Uyghurs vehemently oppose Han Chinese integration? Why has the CCP taken unprecedented steps to forcibly assimilate ethnic Chinese Muslims? The creation of a nationalist Han Chinese identity grounded in an atheist communist state in 1949 engendered conflicts with Chinese ethnic Muslim minorities, due to failed coercive integration and assimilation efforts and socioeconomic policy.

As the People’s Republic of China moved away from the policies of the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution and moved toward economic reform by integrating into the global economy, there were several effects felt by Chinese society at large. Reform policies of Deng Xiaoping helped China adopt a new type of economy with effects felt by all assets of society. Participation was largely shaped by these new policies of capitalism and industrialization, as it moved away from the Maoist socialist state. Effects included migration to the cities and the rise of the migrant worker. Even with the changes, several media sources convey criticisms of this contemporary Chinese development, namely in how the lower class people of China have been negatively

As disputes arise, United States sometimes intervenes like it has done before. A good grasp of customs of both parties would lead to a better solution or different approach to the situation. We can understand China's power and thus, reduce the U.S. fear that they may become a threat with their economy, population, and resources. People in the U.S. government must understand the influences behind the Chinese actions and their military culture regarding the use of force. A stronger national security will result from drafting reasonable policies, so we can become allies in containing other world

The region of Xinjiang was under the rule of the Chinese government in the 18th century. An East Turkestan state was declared in 1949 but their independence was short-lived and became part of the Communist China. Xinjiang is a region is home of the ethnic Muslim minority called Uighurs who chafed under Chinese rule and protested the steady influx of ethnic Chinese into the region. There was tension between he Uighur population and Han Chinese ethnic western China that resulted in violence and terrorism. For many years, many Uighurs and other Muslim minorities in Xinjiang have agitated against China authoritarian government. The Uighurs protest to oppressive official policies, religious restrictions and widespread discrimination. At any rate, there are multitude of reasons for the conflict that exists between the Uighurs and the Han Chinese, such as conflicts over political religion and natural resources (mainly oil), as well as the struggle for regional

The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has become more integrated and willing to cooperate within the global political and economic systems than ever in its history. However, there is growing apprehension in the Asia-Pacific region and the U.S. in regards to the consequences of rising in economic and military power in China. Descriptions about Chinese diplomacy in the policy and scholarly are less positive lately concerning China’s obedience to regional and international rules. There was little debate in the U.S. and elsewhere in regards to whether China was or was not part “the international community.” Scholars and experts in the early 1990s have contended

The revolutionary habits that the Chinese developed over the nineteenth century constructed the new China that the world has today. The incidents of the 1911 Revolution and May Fourth Movement tremendously shaped the future of the Industrial China. This essay seeks to examine how the revolution of 1911 and May Fourth Movement pushed to the modern China we have today.
