In the domain of foreign policy USA-china’s
relations are very influential and impacts integral part of the decision making
process in US. Role of agency is
important in this regard as opinions depict the political scenarios of the
respective states; actors, parties, social and political issues etc. In this
assignment articles have certain shared key points to define the common
perspective in them. Those key points are china US ties in economic terms,
acceptance of China by US public, specifically in term of ideological
perspectives, and how US transformed its foreign policy and its foreign policy
is in always a state of competition with china.
China
is in the unsettled condition and communist party is raising difficulties for
US. The mantra of chines that is based on neo Maoist cocktails and opening up
reform is conflicting with each other results in incomprehension. Formations of
Chinese think tank in the white house to examine the policies and impact of
Chinese clearly show the raising US concerns for china. China's rise is a
challenge to America's embraced goals. Schell further suggest that to avoid
disastrous conflict, America should establish relation with China with mutual
trust and respect. The passive method
for the United States to billet China’s rise, comprises a cautious combination
of confrontation and cooperation.
Both states improved the economic ties and are
moving toward the cooperation road. But a part of all the cooperation between
both states the point of contention is also increasing as both states have
issues over the South China Sea claims by the china and both states blame each
other on cybercrimes. Collaboration among China and the United States is
mounting. Consensual monetary and trade bonds have excavated and endure to be
commonly helpful. The China-U.S. sanctuary association is emerging. The
important point of view is that the changing ties between both states and
transformation of their policies as both states have basically incompatible
political systems and antagonistic value arrangements.
it’s
not the china rise that is posing the real diplomatic threat to US and its
allies but it’s the soft power stance of china in its policies that is
impacting US. As during the George bush time the focus on US strategies were to
warfare against extremism but during Barack Obama times China had become much
more persuasive.
US
important comment in year 2016 by US President Barack Obama, who has always
been rather discreet, said in a rather high-profile manner,
"The United States of America is the most powerful nation. Period. It's
not even close." When we look in the economic and domestic progress US has
performed better in it in comparison to china.
Chinese media has reported US surveillances over china’s waters. This issue of south china waters is bone of
strife between both states policies. It is competition over overall national
strength, and economic strength in particular and this is visible in policies
of both states.
China
and US both states are in condition of competition with each other. The concept
of American exceptionalism is stranded in the Western thoughts that distinct
political freedom. This concept should be a prototype for the world but it
isn't common with China’s concepts of consolidation of Maoism and
egalitarian. The ideas of west world are
based on Enlightenment and individual importance while the Chinese concepts are
in contradiction as based on the Confucian ideal and centralized power positioned
for the common good.
When
we evaluate critically there is set pattern in foreign policy of US toward
china that includes certain key agendas which are cyber threats, environmental
exploitation, and integration. US followed specific pattern in its policies and that specific pattern depend in the
presidential tenure in US. US china
relationship needed to be analyzed on term of their presidential candidates and
their impact on foreign policy making. As US wasn’t much concerned about china
expansion during war on terrorism but during Obama tenure US policies engrossed
china reformist growth on the regional bases and also on global level. This
results in promotion of concept of US entrepreneurship in china and portrays
china as less successful and chauvinistic in its concepts. When we analyze the
economic development difference between both states yes US is sturdier but when
we see the burden it’s the US facing more economic burden due to engagement in
wars while on the other side China isn’t facing any problem by any economic outlook.
The emerging china impact on the foreign policy of US as US always used the
hard power stance while china on bases of soft power is rooting itself in most
of regions of world. This strategic relationship and involvement on bases on
economic perspective is a setback for the foreign policy of US that is mostly
based on the Reason to protect principle or humanitarian interventions. US had these principles a top place in its
foreign policy which results in the negative image of US on the other hand
china gaining economic objective and controlling commercial progress had
positive image for the world. US transformed its strategies with time toward
china and now China is influential character in US policies.
