Question One
Introduction
The dynamism of relationship has evolved over the course of years from that phase of cooperation, rivalry and sometimes conflict in the forty years since the United States formed diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China (Congressional Research Service, 2019). Today, all pressing national security issues, including trading policies, rise in the military strength as well as technical enhancement are addressed by the U.S.-China partnership.
The emergence of China on the world stage as a great power is a fact that has long been foretold. China's entry to the World Trade Organization was a bid to forestall the extension of China's authoritarian ideology, one that has so far been unsuccessful (Meltzer & Shenai, 2019). After the administration of Clinton, China's economic growth and its slow yet steady emergence as a global force have changed geopolitics; the rise of China has played major role in becoming the economic power and commercial hub at international level.
Brief Overview of the Relationship
The evolution of relationship between china and United states have taken place over the last forty years in the form of so called diplomacy adopted by the two nations; this diplomatic ideology has justifiable standpoints but they have enhanced competency level for China to survive in the global market. Over the past few years, however the U.S., with the aid of leaders in both parties, has moved away from a policy of cooperation with China toward one of direct competition across the board. This was in reaction to Chinese hostile behavior aimed at reducing U.S. economic and military influence across the globe. China has questioned U.S. interests in several respects over the last few decades (Congressional Research Service, 2019).
The opportunity for the United States to retain its preeminent position in the fields of global infrastructure growth, technology and the economy is being challenged between China's Belt and Road Initiative and Huawei's expansion of 5G network capabilities around the world (Medeiros, 2019). There is an ongoing battle in trade and influence gain in the Indo Pacific region of the world, which both the nations are striving to achieve; this ideological conflicts ranges from trade, technological power and in an ongoing debate about democracy versus authoritarianism. At the same time, countries need to work together on climate change, global economic stability and other problems decades (Congressional Research Service, 2019).
The Perception of Campbell and Ratne
In their approach to view the status of US-Chinese relationship, the author’s duo perceives some perplexing notions prevailing on the both sides. On behalf of Americans, the so called ‘hard realists’ believe that in the modern times, China has grown powerful due to the economic strength it has gained over the course of years and it can be seen in the assertive behavior of the nation in terms of exercising its military powers (Wang, 2017).
Campbell and Ratner see the philosophy of expanding boundaries getting stronger day after day in Chinese context, which is against the neo-liberalism concept; the liberals believe that the China should focus in stabilizing its internal political status first and it should ensure that the active global participation is one of the key components of China’s foreign policies.
Additionally, the standpoint that the two authors have taken in the article is relatable to the foreign policies of Clinton, Bush and Obama government, which could liberalize the foreign policies in order to strengthen the diplomatic relations with China (Teece, 2020). However, the roots of contention between the two nations lie in their ruling ideology. China is led by Communist philosophy, while the US, like the majority of the nations in the world,...
