Four critical issues regarding U.S.-Chinese relations

Professor Stephen M. Walt of Harvard University recently wrote in Foreign approach that the United States should base its approach toward the People's Republic of China (PRC) on the answers to five basic issues. Walt's primary concerns center on China's economic future, the effect of U.S. efforts to limit China's access to cutting-edge technologies, Xi Jinping's leadership skills, the "effectiveness" of balancing against China by other countries, and the results of the competition between China and the U.S. to win over coalition allies. I like Walt's fundamental notion, however I may rephrase his essential questions somewhat. Therefore, I will provide my own (more concise) list. Is there wiggle space for Beijing and Washington to agree on a delineation of regional influence and c...

China is the primary benefactor of the bitter US politics, according to Dawn Nakagawa

Liberal democracies must formulate a coordinated, competent response to international issues.While the US-China trade war continues to dominate political discussion worldwide, the US itself has been experiencing an equally unsettling trend for some time. American political scientist Graham T. Allison coined the phrase "Thucydides Trap" to refer to a propensity for conflict when a rising power poses a danger to an established great power's hegemon status in a certain area or globally. It comes as no surprise that a Thucydides Trap is being played out in the rivalry between the two superpowers of the planet. But the degree to which the social and political fabric of the US has deteriorated has been a surprise. Republicans and Democrats, the two main political parties, are now at od...

Amid economic and security worries, Japan will enlist Taiwan chipmaker TSMC’s assistance to revolutionize its semiconductor industry.

With some help from Taiwan, Japan intends to heavily invest in its semiconductor industry in order to restore its local industry. Analysts predict that the upcoming "revolution" will differ from the previous one in that Tokyo is eager to form partnerships with foreign governments and businesses, including European companies, while Japanese companies use their cutting-edge technology to produce niche chips, the tiny bundle of circuits that perform specific functions in t...

Biden’s political motivation to strengthen US-China relations is still debatable.

Despite the US ambassador to China's apparent soft rhetoric in which he rejected a cold war between the world's two largest economies and referred to "decoupling" as unhealthy and "not smart," some Chinese observers said on Wednesday that China should not be seduced by those "beautiful words" because the key to reversing the deterioration of US-China relations is whether the US government has the political will to implore Beijing to change its ways. US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns said on Tuesday at a virtual event hosted by the Washington-based think tank Stimson Center that the US is prepared to undertake high-level conversations with China and wants to improve lines of communication between the two nations. The US's relationship with China is still "complicated" and competi...
