A New Landscape for China-India Relations
The term “international landscape,” as I understand it, refers to the basic balance of power, structure and competitive and cooperative relations among major countries and groups of countries. Multi-polarization is the most fundamental trend in the evolution of that landscape today. Based on this understanding, I share the following points: First, multi-polarization has entered a new stage.
10 Years of U.S.-China Diplomacy on Apple Podcasts
To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the China in the World podcast, Carnegie China is launching a series of lookback episodes, using clips from previous interviews to put current international issues in context. For the first episode in this series, the podcast looks back on ten years of U.S.-China diplomacy following the postponement of U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s planned visit to China in early 2023.
A Dangerous Imbalance
When the United States became the No. 1 power with an overwhelming advantage at the end of World War II, the realism that underlay its diplomatic thought and global strategic theory was automatically elevated to hegemonic realism. The core idea was that the United States must dominate the international community, which was essentially anarchic. After the U.S. won the Cold War with the Soviet Union, hegemony became its central pillar of power for maintaining the international order.
The Competitive Conundrum
A significant corner has been turned in China-U.S. relations, the most prominent hallmark of which is that Washington has substituted “major power competition” for “anti-terror” as the No.1 challenge for U.S. global diplomacy, and it has identified China as its main rival, or “near-peer competitor,” and the strongest rival in U.S. history. A rivalry is a competitive relationship.
Biden’s China Policy Dilemma
Seven months into office, the Biden administration has not announced any comprehensive review of its China policy. Instead of positive dynamics in U.S.-China relations, as had been widely expected, the high-level strategic dialogue is largely a stalemate. The dilemma faced by the Biden administration regarding its China policy adjustment is directly related to the current state of U.S. domestic affairs.
Political Talking Points
The mainstream view in China is that U.S. President Joe Biden and his foreign policy team will be more rational and less hostile than their predecessors, which could mean U.S. policy will be more predictable, increasing the likelihood that the two sides will move toward a more stable relationship. It is also clear that the Biden administration regards China as a chief rival, as well as the 21st century’s greatest geopolitical test. And it’s prepared to compete vigorously.
What shifting US politics means for China
By Cui Liru | China Daily | Updated: 2021-01-19 07:49 Cai Meng/China Daily Four years ago, real estate developer and self-described political outsider Donald Trump raised the anti-establishment banner, unleashed a populist political storm in the United States, and won the US presidential election, overturning power in Washington and changing the country's foreign policy. About two months ago, the political situation in the US flipped again, as Trump's opponents voted Democrat Joe Biden to power.
Shifting U.S. Politics: What it Means for China
Four years ago, real estate developer and self-described political outsider Donald Trump raised the anti-establishment banner and unleashed a populist political storm in the United States. He overturned power in Washington and changed the foreign policy of the country. A little more than a month ago, the political situation flipped again, as the anti-Trump faction represented by Democrat Joe Biden won the presidential election.
Managing Strategic Competition
Trust between China and the United States has reached a new nadir. Over recent months, an array of actions and words from U.S. hawks suggests they are bent on triggering a new cold war. But even though relations are at a new historic juncture, having assumed a complex structure, the aggressive needling need not shape the course for the future. Strategic competition has been front and center in U.S. policy toward China ever since the days when China was regarded as its arch challenger.
Sino-US Relations in Transition: What’s Certain and What Isn’t
Sino-U.S. relations are experiencing an unprecedented period of difficulty, and there are great uncertainties in their development prospects. These uncertainties come from major changes. The current tensions in bilateral relations and the challenges and difficulties the two countries must face for a considerable time to come are fundamentally a symptom of their historical transition from an old pattern to a new one.
Rebuilding the Equilibrium in China-US Relations
The China-US trade war can generally be approached from two levels: one is the level of economy and trade. The more important background, however, is the strategic level. Trump has put forward two goals – doing away with trade deficits and eliminating non-reciprocity. These are too difficult for China. The causes of the two problems are too complicated to be resolved easily.
Washington Has Altered Dynamics of China-U.S. Relations by Redefining China Strategically
The Asia-Pacific region, well known for its robust economic growth, has continued to enjoy basic stability. The challenges facing the region are highlighted by increasingly-complex security issues, greatly complicating relations between major countries. In recent years, strategic competition between China and the US has loomed large, prompting their relations to take a dark turn.
China-US ties at historic point with new dynamics: China Daily columnist, SE Asia News & Top Stories - The Straits Times
(CHINA DAILY/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - China-US relations have reached a historic point, characterised by new dynamics in their interactions at the strategic level. As the two largest economies, the United States and China boast a combined GDP that accounts for more than one-third of world's total. And as each other's biggest trading partner, they had a trade volume of more than US$550 billion (S$765 billion) in 2015. Bilateral investment, too, continues to grow.
