Cheng, Jessica A. "Chinese Soft Power: Implications on US-China Relations." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2012. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/362.
Full textAbstract:
This senior thesis is an exploration of Chinese soft power and the implications on the future of US-China relations. The first chapter looks into the objectives/goals to attain by using soft power set by the Chinese government followed by the exploration of methods that the Chinese have used to further their goals. The second chapter takes a look at the implicit and explicit successes of soft power in the peripheral regions of China and neighboring countries. The third chapter explores the negative and positive results that have come from China's soft power efforts. And the final chapter covers the fluctuation in American soft power and the effect China's soft power will have on global stability. The paper concludes with policy suggestions for the United States if it wants to protect national interests against China's soft power in the future.

In recent years, China has become the world factory for a sizable portion of products. Most manufacturing conglomerates in the United States now have contract manufacturing plants in China. Because many of these US companies have implemented a variety of inventory reduction approaches, they are now faced with the expensive transportation of large numbers of low-weight, small- quantity shipments in international inbound transportation, transportation that covers the flows of goods from contract manufacturers (CMs) in China to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the States. While there has been research on consolidation, little attention has been paid to international inbound freight consolidation, which provides a potential savings opportunity in international transportation by combining several small shipments into one large shipment. This paper examines how manufacturers in the United States can use freight consolidation in their international inbound transportation flow from CMs in China. It then explores a framework for designing inbound consolidation, focusing on how to implement inbound consolidation in the context of China's fast-evolving logistics industry.

In 2005, China had approximately 144 million people aged over 60, accounting for 11 percent of the whole population. In 2010, this population will reach 1,700 million and consist of 12.78% of the total population. It is also estimated that less than 200,000 seniors live in those not-for-profit, non-government senior housing centers. This is 0.14% of total population of 144 million people aged over 60 in 2005. If 3% of seniors may choose to live in a senior housing environment, it will create an investment market of RMB90 billion to RMB100 billion. However, in China, much foreign capital has been invested in real estate products such as office, residential, retail, logistics, and hotel. Little capital has been deployed in senior housing. The for-profit senior housing market is emerging as local developers have started to catch up the needs of the elderly in China. None of them are sophisticated enough compared to senior housing owners and operators in US. In China, the increased number of middle-class, and the rapid social and cultural changes of traditional elderly care have demonstrated that the elderly' great needs for better quality of retirement life and experiences. The existing for-profit senior housing market in US and both the for-profit and not-for-profit markets in China are discussed. Opportunities and challenges to US developers/ investors as well as the implications of US senior housing to China are analyzed. Several strategies are also proposed for potential US developers and/ or investors to seriously look into this niche market in China now.

Full textAbstract:
Since the fifteenth century the rise of capitalism and the expansion of global trade networks have ensured that a wide range of consumer goods has become available to people from all walks of life. Paralleling these developments, our attitudes and beliefs about consumer goods have also changed: goods that were once considered luxuries have become commonplace in domestic households. This study celebrates the diversity of this material culture and the variety of symbolic meanings people attach to it. The US China trade, as a facet of the Spice Trade, is inextricably linked to the development of capitalism and long-distance shipping that ensured the movement of consumer goods to markets around the world. Inevitably, many of these ships sank and archaeologically their cargoes and the artifacts associated with their crew provide an opportunity to glimpse the development of our modern world. This thesis uses the shipwreck Frolic (1850) as a case study to discuss how those
involved in, and those who were supplied through, this trade used a range of consumer goods to construct distinct identities for themselves and those around them. This study also draws on a wide variety of source material, including material culture (museum collections and archaeological assemblages), images and documentary sources (courtesy literature and newspapers) to paint a broader picture of the US China trade and consumer society than any one source is capable of doing itself. This study ultimately argues that the range in consumer goods
associated with the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century US China trade is symptomatic of the increasing complexity of consumer markets able to facilitate the establishment and maintenance of a wide array of consumer identities, necessary under the many new social, economic and ideological relationships constructed under capitalism.

Roden, Mark Allan. "The international political economy of contemporary US-China relations." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2001. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/14814/.
Full textAbstract:
This book investigates the changing nature of US power at the level of world order using US relations with the People's Republic of China in the 1990s as a case study. It is argued that US hegemony has given way to a period of dominance in which the neo-liberal policy objectives of the US state are increasingly realised via the structural power of global institutions and the ideological preferences which underpin them; the cultivation of regional trading blocs; and the material power of the US state as conceived in more traditional terms. This neo-Gramscian assessment of US power is accompanied by the idea that political agency is required to satisfy policy goals under conditions of globalisation. State policy is thereby understood as the product of a political process involving US civil society and non-state actors rather than a given entity. The chapters of the book flesh out the methods by which the US has sought to promote a liberal trading order in the light of China's emergence as a global power and the various areas of consensus and disagreement between the two nations. This takes the form of analysing five major thematic areas of the relationship which include assessments of the historical evolution of US-China relations; the political economy of US-China trade; the role of social forces (civil society) in US-China relations; environmental aspects of the relationship; and the impact of regionalism on US-China relations. Overall, the intention is to problematise the view that the relationship can still be broached in conventional state-centric terms which play down new structural conditions underpinned by the onset of economic globalisation and more multilateral forms of power. In many senses, the thesis entails a novel approach to the political economy of relations between two of the world's foremost powers by placing analysis within the context of neo Gramscian critical theory. It concludes by noting that though US structural power remains considerable in the post-hegemonic era of the 1990s and beyond, the rise of China may induce moves, for better and perhaps worse, to a more multilateral world order.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis assesses Made in China 2025, China's plan to improve its manufacturing base in high tech industries, and the reactions it has prompted from the international community. The roots of the current China-US trade war can also trace its roots back to MIC 2025 as the US and other Western powers have complained of unfair practices such as forced technology transfers and myriad state-backed acquisitions of foreign technology companies. China justifies its behaviour with its "developing" status, but as it assumes dominant position in multiple high tech industries, that excuse seems to ring hollow. There are signs that China will start to open its markets more and adopt fairer practices.

Full textAbstract:
Despite Australia enjoying good relations with both the United States and China at the moment, the long-term prospects are uncertain due to US-China strategic rivalry. The aim of this thesis is to examine Australias ability to continue strong relations with both countries over the long-term. The thesis concludes that Australia may be able to maintain good relations with the US and China in the long run despite US-China strategic rivalry. The strategic competition only increases the prospect of conflict; it does not mean a US-China conflict is bound to happen. Although the risks of a US-China military confrontation over Taiwan are real, the chances are small due to Americas continued strategic presence in the region and its military preponderance. If a Sino-US conflict were to occur, Australia would most likely side with the US despite China being economically significant to Australia. The United States is also critically important to Australias economic interests and, ultimately, Australias national security depends on its alliance with the US. Survival is the foremost goal for a state in the anarchical international system and security interests outweigh economic interests in importance in a time of crisis.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis looks at the politics of airpower in US-China relations in 1928-1941, in particular the question of aviation assistance to the Nationalists. Since World War II, American historians have asserted that before Pearl Harbor, Americans helped the Chinese to improve their air force to resist Japan. The thesis finds, however, that trade not aid dominated the approach of the US government and private individuals towards China and that Chiang wanted an air force to use against his internal enemies, not Japan. Moreover, the Roosevelt Administration consistently treated China’s airpower needs as secondary to those of Britain or the US military. In the interwar years, China and the United States had less to do with each other than with other allies. In 1933-1935 Chiang preferred an official Italian air mission to an unofficial American one. After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war in 1937, Stalin sent massive air assistance to China which eclipsed the influence of American aircraft salesmen and advisers. In 1938-1939 President Roosevelt promoted the sale of aircraft to Britain and France, believing that large modern air fleets would deter Germany from aggression against its European neighbours. China was far down his list of priorities. In 1939 the Administration adopted a policy of promoting aircraft sales to China which was comparable to that adopted for its European allies. By encouraging aircraft sales to the Nationalists, the Administration hoped to boost China’s resistance so that Japan would remain ‘bogged down’ in China instead of attacking the Asian colonies of European allies. In the winter of 1940-1941, the formation of a mercenary air force, the American Volunteer Group (AVG) was associated with this strategy. As this thesis reveals, British and Chinese officials decided to base the AVG in Burma to enhance the air defence of British territory in the Far East. Thus the AVG became unofficial aid primarily for Britain. Soon after Pearl Harbor, the American press began to treat the AVG as symbol of Sino-American friendship. The group became known as the Flying Tigers and the original reasons for its formation were buried under layers of propaganda which have distorted the historical record ever since.

China and the South China Sea region will play an important role in global and US strategic policy for the foreseeable future. Because China is an upcoming global economic power, the US and other nations must become cognizant of China's motivations in the South China Sea in order to avoid conflict, which seems inevitable. The purpose of this thesis is to examine China's conflicts/tensions in the South China Sea, specifically the Spratly Islands, Paracel Islands, Taiwan, ASEAN, and US Navy. Discussions on the evolution of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) will also provide additional insight to China's actions in the region. Understanding China's history, role, and claims in the region begins to paint a picture that the PLAN are operating under a principle very similar to the Monroe Doctrine, which allowed the US unfettered access to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Lastly, the thesis will demonstrate that the Chinese version of the Monroe Doctrine as well the country's desire to establish dominance in the South China Sea, which she sees as her "lost territory", is derived from the fear of an encirclement strategy implemented by the US and a nascent US-backed collective security regime, ASEAN.Master of Arts

Foster, Helen Cecilia. "US apparel imports from China in the context of MFA IV." Diss., Virginia Tech, 1990. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/39908.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research was to analyze US apparel trade building up to and following the MFA IV renewal in 1986, so as to gain insight into the reasons for US apparel industry support of the new fiber inclusions, and to gauge effects of MFA IV on US apparel imports overall and specifically from the PRC. The study focused on the period 1978 - 1988.
Total imports from all suppliers (World) were examined by country of origin: China (PRC), and rest of world (ROW); fiber content: MFA IV-fiber or all fibers and whether knitted or woven construction. The imports were then examined to determine the impact of economic variables such as the exchange rate, and US personal apparel consumption expenditure (PCE). Imports were found to have increased from 1978 to 1987 and then to have declined in all categories except one from 1987 to 1988. The MFA IV, implemented in August 1986 was believed to have caused a reduction of import volumes after an initial lag period (expected in international trade). However, other factors were implicated in the trade reduction primarily the fall of the dollar. The dollar was strong through the early 1980s until its peak in 1985, it then declined for the rest of the study.
The one category which continued to increase after the trade restriction was items of MFA IV woven apparel. The reason for this continued increase is not clear but it is believed to be the absence of specific restriction, i.e., pure silk had not been included in bilateral agreements so it is possible that suppliers were switching the product mix to increasing quantities of the less restricted group. Also this would have been the case if the items were coming from new and/or unrestricted suppliers.
In conclusion, it is felt that the apparel import rate or increase was the primary concern and the factor that determined action not the actual volume of imports as the MFA IV-fibers were increasingly used in apparel production.Ph. D.

Pazienza, Toni Ann. "Challenging the Democratic Peace Theory - The Role of US-China Relationship." Scholar Commons, 2014. https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/5098.
Full textAbstract:
The democratic peace theory proposes that democratic states are less likely to go to war with each other, but will go to war with nondemocratic states, and usually win. This is a theory that has generated much controversy. There is no denial that peace exists between democracies, but the controversies arise over why.
The twenty-first century has seen a rise in China (an autocratic state) and its struggle to obtain a presence on the world stage and equality with the United States (a democratic state). There has not been a militarized dispute between them and they report billions of dollars in trade each year. Which begs the question, how has the United States-China trade relationship challenged the democratic peace theory?
To answer this question a thorough review of the democratic peace theory becomes necessary as an aim to introducing the theory and reviewing the literature advanced by democratic peace theorists. A discussion of the theory's origins, central features, limits and its critics is presented. The opening of China and its economy in relationship with the United States is analyzed to show how trade interdependence has meant closer and increased trade.
I argue that the United States-China relationship, which addresses the peaceful constraints of economic interdependence, can reveal important limits of the democratic peace theory. The method chosen to examine the argument is based on a case study of the peaceful relationship between the United States and China. The selected cases provide trade data to assess the magnitude of trade interdependence between them. Concluding that the theory is limited in that it fails to address the influence of trade interdependence as a better explanation for peace, and not democratic processes.

Full textAbstract:
In the emerging knowledge economy, scientific pursuit in the form of international collaboration has escalated. Studies consistently report that such collaboration, which has been intensifying in the last several decades, is common among not only advanced economies but also in emerging scientific nations such as China, India, and Brazil. The emergence of a "new invisible college" of international knowledge exchange has aroused interest from social scientists and captured the attention of policymakers. Indeed, recognizing its importance as a means of monitoring and exploiting other countries' R&D investment, more and more countries champion and participate in international joint research.
International collaboration between the United States (US) and China is particularly interesting. The US has been and will continue to be the leader in scientific development for the foreseeable future. However, as a rising scientific power, China is changing the global landscape of ideas and innovation along with other emerging countries. The growing significance of the US-China relationship and worldwide interest in China's development suggest that the characteristics of the scientific collaboration of these two countries and its associated knowledge dissemination across national borders are timely topics to study.
Surprisingly, few studies have examined research collaboration between a scientific superpower and an emerging scientific power, particularly in the context of emerging state-of-the-art technology. This dissertation seeks to address this research gap by examining patterns of collaboration in the US-China scientific community and its impact on China's rapid knowledge accumulation in nanotechnology, if any, through Chinese knowledge moderators (CKMs)--Chinese scholars who bridge two otherwise distant scientific communities through intensive collaboration with both sides.
The research focuses on the following three aspects: firstly, built upon the notions of the boundary spanner and the structural hole, the study develops the concept of Chinese knowledge moderators and uses it as an instrument to examine the relationship between international collaboration and knowledge spillover across national boundaries. Secondly, it operationalizes and tests the impact of US-China collaboration using multiple methods. In addition to citation-based indicators, based on the turnover of nanotechnology keywords, the study investigates the impact of collaborating with US scholars on CKMs' research trajectory and the international knowledge spillover facilitated by CKMs. Thirdly, utilizing a longitudinal publication dataset of 77 CKMs and their CV data, this study is able to quantify the dynamic impact of US collaboration on the quality of CKMs' research over time. The combination of bibliometric analyses, empirical testing, and case studies allows for the development of a comprehensive blueprint of US-China scientific collaboration in the field of nanotechnology.
This research yields several significant findings. First, the evolution of US-China collaboration in nanotechnology has gone beyond quantitative growth, as qualitative and structural changes have begun to take place. Secondly, CKMs play a critical role in fostering China's nanotechnology development, manifested in both knowledge creation and knowledge diffusion. The present study also reveals that US-China collaboration has a diminishing effect over time on the research quality of CKMs at level of individual papers, but as pertaining to entire journals. Thirdly, the case studies on the evolution of research streams suggest that US-China collaboration influences the research trajectory of CKMs, who, as the conduits of knowledge, further disseminate it within the national boundaries of China.
The research also has policy implications for both sides. Chinese policy makers need to strengthen the mechanisms that encourage CKMs collaborating with the US, and, in order to amplify international knowledge spillover, these mechanisms should further encourage more interactions between CKMs and their Chinese domestic colleagues. From the US American perspective, given China's scientific emergence in nanotechnology, the US should direct its efforts to ensuring its ample access to exploiting the heavy R&D investment of this emerging scientific powerhouse by collaborating with top Chinese scientists.

The success of the startups ecosystem that Israel has built has become powerful even in a global context. How could it be possible for such a small country to claim a reputation as the "Startup Nation", and how could the small startups from Israel gain international competitive power and expand their business in the global market successfully? The primary purpose of this study is to identify the elements that brought success to Israeli startups in the global market, especially related to the relationship with U.S. venture capital firms and to find the takeaways to apply to startups in South Korea - specifically, related to the relationship with Chinese venture capitals. The study compares the similarities and differences between the circumstances that Israel and South Korea face and analyzes the Israeli startups' success elements, researching three Israeli companies in depth. The research shows the strong relationship between successful Israeli startups and investors from the United States who placed huge roles in bringing the startups to the global market. Through analyzing the position of Israeli startups in the global market and the relationship with U.S. venture capital firms and conducting interviews and surveys with entrepreneurs in South Korea, the study finds three takeaways from the relationship between Israeli startups and U.S. venture capitals with potential to create more synergy between Korean startups and Chinese venture capital firms.

The substantial growth of the Chinese economy over the past decades and the accession of People's Republic of China in the World Trade Organization, have formed a completely different trade environment. Outsourcing activities are the most important activities taking place in such an environment, benefiting from low labor cost in PRC. The United States of America are heavily involved in such activities and most multinational companies from the USA have moved their manufacturing activities in PRC. As a result trade between the US and China has substantially increased during the last decade. The ability to support such increase in terms of supply chain infrastructure and the problems faced by large companies when moving to China are the focus of this thesis. An overview of the Chinese economy is also presented as to give an image of the current market conditions, opportunities and issues in this transitional stage. Nike Inc. and New Balance Athletic Shoes are examined as large companies facing problems and giving solutions to improve parts of their supply chain.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses US presidential discourses of China from 1844 to 2016. Provoked by the contemporary trope of the ‘rise of China’ and Barack Obama’s ‘pivot’ to the Asia Pacific, I demonstrate how specific US discourses of China have emerged over time to condition how the US thinks about and acts towards China. Through an interdisciplinary analytical framework, motivated by a poststructural ethos, appreciative of the contributions of political economy and inspired by the methodological approach of Michel Foucault, I conduct an intertextual discourse analysis and genealogical critique of US Presidential discourses on China. By focusing on ‘official’ sources, predominantly the speeches and statements of US Presidents, I analyse US discourses of China from the 1844 Treaty of Wangxia up until the end of Barack Obama’s Presidency in 2016. Through this genealogical discourse analysis I argue that three logics, of identity, capital, and geopolitics, emerge over time and are predominant in shaping US foreign policy towards China. I do not take these as pre-existing assumptions but inductively conceptualise them through a hermeneutic engagement with the history of US Presidential discourses regarding China. These logics function to frame, organise and limit what is politically possible and subsequently perceived as necessary, in US foreign policy towards China. The logic of capital addresses the need for US capital to reproduce itself by expanding internationally. The logic of geopolitics functions primarily as the organising principles for the logic of capital and US foreign relations specifically in relation to China. The logic of identity functions as a conditioning limit on the logics of capital and geopolitics. From this, I conclude that US anxiety over the ‘rise of China’ is a manifestation of historic US conceptions of its identity, its geopolitical imagining of the Asia-Pacific, and the perceived imperatives of contemporary capitalism.

Full textAbstract:
Previous research has shown that Taiwan's military spending is affected either by China's military buildup or the US's military pipeline. This study investigates whether it is also true an ongoing US-China relationship has dynamic effects. Three major findings are obtained from the statistical analyses. First and foremost, the level of US-China conflict has a contemporaneous positive effect on Taiwan's military spending. Second, the analyses also indicate that the volatility of US-China relations has negative effects on Taiwan's military spending. This finding suggests that instability in US-China relations will prompt Taiwan to decrease its military spending due to a higher amount of perceived security on the one hand, and Taiwan wants to avoid further provoking China on the other. Third, analyses indicate that an error correction model fares better than a simple budgetary incremental model in explaining the re-equilibrating effects of GNP growth on Taiwan's military spending. Overall, the results demonstrate the interplay of domestic and international constraints and may help to predict what will be the expected military spending when Taiwan's economy changes. I suggest that Taiwan's military spending is likely to be influenced by US-China relations as well as by foreign investment and domestic economic constraints as long as the United States policy toward the Taiwan problem remains unchanged.

Full textAbstract:
Companies especially multinational companies are now exposed to risks caused by unexpected movements in exchange rate. The management of foreign exchange risk has become essential for the survival of companies in today’s volatile financial markets.
This paper reviews the traditional types of exchange rate risk faced by firms, namely translation, transaction and operating risk, presents measurement and management method for foreign exchange exposure and objectives of foreign exchange management.
The central purpose of this thesis is to examine the foreign exchange risk management in American, Japanese and Chinese companies by comparing hedging practices among 30 companies, of which are 10 from each country.
We approach our research by analyzing the annual report of our sample companies in the year of 2006, it is found that American and Japanese companies tend to hedge foreign exchange risk more than Chinese companies, also have more diversity of derivatives usage. Although China has reformed the exchange rate policy from pegging US dollar to a managed floating exchange rate system recently, it is still suggested that Chinese firms are less active than American and Japanese firms in the foreign exchange management activity. After we did our research, we found the companies always put focus on hedging transaction risk, the companies in China prefer to use home country currency as function currency while American and Japanese companies prefer to use domestic currency as function currency.
So after we did our analysis, we feel that in China, the company need to reinforce the consciousness to hedge exchange rate risk, use diversification instrument to hedge foreign exchange risk and doing adjustment in accounting rules in translation of foreign currencies.
For very little have been investigated on financial risk management in Chinese companies, we wish our study can contribute to the foreign exchange risk management research.

Thesis advisor: Robert RossIn recent years, economic and political cooperation between China and Iran has deepened to levels never before reached. This thesis discusses the potentially far reaching implications the development in relations between China and Iran poses for controlling nuclear proliferation, international energy security, and the role the US plays in Middle Eastern and East Asian power politics. Monitoring the Chinese-Iranian relationship is thus important to the US, as its own influence across the globe could potentially be reduced as a result of cooperation between these two nations. With China newly confident following the global financial crisis of 2008, it appears that despite US pressure to stop, China is continuing to deepen its cooperation with Iran in pursuit of its own national interests

Companies especially multinational companies are now exposed to risks caused by unexpected movements in exchange rate. The management of foreign exchange risk has become essential for the survival of companies in today’s volatile financial markets. This paper reviews the traditional types of exchange rate risk faced by firms, namely translation, transaction and operating risk, presents measurement and management method for foreign exchange exposure and objectives of foreign exchange management. The central purpose of this thesis is to examine the foreign exchange risk management in American, Japanese and Chinese companies by comparing hedging practices among 30 companies, of which are 10 from each country. We approach our research by analyzing the annual report of our sample companies in the year of 2006, it is found that American and Japanese companies tend to hedge foreign exchange risk more than Chinese companies, also have more diversity of derivatives usage. Although China has reformed the exchange rate policy from pegging US dollar to a managed floating exchange rate system recently, it is still suggested that Chinese firms are less active than American and Japanese firms in the foreign exchange management activity. After we did our research, we found the companies always put focus on hedging transaction risk, the companies in China prefer to use home country currency as function currency while American and Japanese companies prefer to use domestic currency as function currency.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the news coverage of China in the US and UK newspapers via a qualitative approach, comparing the dominant news frames used across time and between the newspapers. Five events are selected for research between 1989 and 2003, including the events in Tiananmen Square in 1989, the Cross-Strait issue with particular reference to Taiwan's presidential election in 1996, Hong Kong's handover to China in 1997, the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) crisis in 2003 and the awarding of the Olympic Games to China in 2001. The thesis reveals that, first, the news coverage of China is a type of constructed discourse with specific structures, frames and emphases. Different newspapers have different emphases and interpretation of the same issue, and different forms of narration are operated in coordination to support a specific frame. Second, the coverage creates a dualistic picture of China in which China's social-political aspects are presented negatively as underdeveloped, ossified and autocratic while it is also represented as an increasing powerhouse with large market and economic potential.

Full textAbstract:
While each of the dominant theories of International Relations offers segmented contributions to contemporary foreign policy analysis – and consequently contradictory prescriptions for US-China policy – none of them simultaneously encapsulate the overarching historical trends in US foreign policy-making and the contemporary dynamics of foreign policy construction. This thesis, therefore, offers a historical account of the trends and traditions of US foreign policy through the lens of grand strategy; and follows this with an in-depth analysis of the post-Cold War era and the forces that seek to exert influence over the decision- and policy-making process. This aspect of the thesis concentrates on the three main sectors that battle for and claim policy-making dominance: the media; special interests and lobbies; and the executive branch itself. A proper understanding of how these three sectors interact is essential for understanding any underlying construction of US foreign policy, and in particular the struggle to marshal a contemporary grand strategy for China. From the Federalist Papers, to “Hearst’s War” in 1898, to the CNN Effect and controversies over press coverage of the Iraq War, the media has been an ever-present actor in US foreign relations; and yet its actual level of influence is difficult to ascertain. Like the media, the role of special interests has been a constant in US foreign policy and politics as a whole. Far from being the ‘conspiracy’ of popular imagination, lobbies and special interests have, at times, helped guide foreign policy – because they advocate popular policy positions, or because they are able to exploit disengaged policy elites. A final chapter analyses the importance of the president and other executive offices in the making of policy, building on the previous two chapters to present the case for an engaged president. Each of these chapters uses the problem of developing a grand strategy for China to examine and define a pluralist approach to contemporary US foreign policy-making. This study will conclude by locating the Obama administration’s early foreign policies and international experiences – again focusing on China – within this framework, and offer suggestions for how future policy issues could be surmounted through proper process.

Full textAbstract:
The ascent of China to a global power status has created a new wave of theoretical discourse on what this means for the future of international relations. The general consensus on a unipolar order of international relations is slowly giving way to discourse. The time of polarity shift in the system is associated with a likely conflict between the descending hegemon and the ascending power (Snyder 2002; Mearsheimer 2010). This theoretical background suggest that in the future, we might witness a military conflict between the US and China. On the other side of the spectrum is a more optimistic view of China's rise, which emphasizes the role of economic interdependence and the extreme cost of any aggressive foreign policy that would escalate the conflict potential between China and the US (Ikenberry 2008; Kang 2007; Fravel 2010). This assumption of a future military conflict between the US and China is at the center of this research. In the following pages I will explore the idea of a military conflict between the US and China in an in-depth analysis of the most contested and conflict-prone issues between China and the US: the future of Taiwan and the Senkaku Island dispute.

Full textAbstract:
Since the inception of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1947, traditional trade barriers like tariffs and quotas were no longer at the heart of trade disputes under the multilateral trade framework. The economic interdependence trend has brought a number of social issues to the forefront of the international scene, and the conflict between trade values and social values have soon become the new theme of trade conflicts at the current stage. Hence, international trade rules were urged to address issues other than economic concerns, such as environmental protection, cultural value preservation and human rights. Clashes between trade liberalization and social values are harshly criticized for their alleged negative impacts on issues like equality, freedom, social justice, environment and culture. The World Trade Organization (WTO), as the only multilateral trade regime, is arguably extending its competence in dealing with conflicts other than trade issues. However, the conflicts are made more incomprehensible due to the absence of a clear and reconciled order in both substantive and procedure senses. This research is based on the aforementioned concerns, and focuses on the relationship between trade liberalization and a specific spot among the enormous range of social values: Trade in Culture. Departing from domestic regime, the research is going to critically evaluate domestic state of law and policies under the realm of WTO rules, in order to carry out their interactions with WTO regime. By analyzing to what extent they collide with each other, and the possible alternatives to develop cultural trade, the research considers the development of cultural trade in the way that is more responsive to the real problems of current restraints presented at the domestic level, so that implications to the WTO legal framework can be drawn.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the 'special relationship' between the United States and Great Britain and their ability to work together in the Far East despite widely divergent policies towards the People's Republic of China. The American policy of non-recognition of the PRC and its active support of the Republic of China, in opposition to Britain's early recognition of the PRC, did not hamper British and American efforts to work together to wage or contain the Cold War. In reference to the crises in the area of the Chinese offshore islands of Matsu and Quemoy, I would argue that the US and Britain put their differences aside during tense periods because they agreed generally on over-all policy, to disengage the PRC from the influence of the Soviet Union, but used different means to attain this goal. Both Britain and the US, to different degrees, attempted to establish 'two China's' in order to stabilize the situation in the Far East which left unchecked might trigger a third world war. The skirmishes in the offshore islands in 1954-55 and 1958 highlighted the danger of this situation and affected the related issues of the China seat in the United Nations, the embargo placed on trade with the People's Republic at the time of the Korean war, Hong Kong and the diplomatic relationships in the region. This thesis examines the impact of these issues on Far East policy, particularly, how agreements reached on the United Nations and trade issues affect British policy during the 1958 offshore islands crisis. The change in British policy from 1954 to 1958 is striking, reflecting external issues such as Suez and Harold Macmillan's rise to the office of prime minister. American policy, although less inflexible than is traditionally assumed, shifts slightly over the same period and attempts to normalize the situation by placing tighter controls on its ally, Chiang Kai-shek. As will be seen, British cooperation on Far Eastern issues was an important prerequisite for American manoeuvres in the region.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the migration of the Taiwanese semiconductor industry to China, and the security implications of this migration for the US-China-Taiwan relations, as a basis for a reappraisal of the impact of globalisation on security. Results from more than 140 interviews with business and government heavyweights in the US, Taiwan and China are combined with findings from secondary data and review of literature. The thesis first argues that a country’s semiconductor industry is central to its national security because of its contribution to national economy, high-tech development, and military modernisation. It contends that the scope of the industry migration across the Taiwan Strait is extensive, the direction complicated, and the causes manifold. Empirical data support the argument that the outcome of the migration is significant in boosting the development of China’s chronically weak semiconductor sector through the cross-border transfers of investment, talent and technology inherent in Taiwan’s competitive industry. The thesis further dissects the following security repercussions, some of which have been associated with the unexamined Realist vulnerability claims propagated by the Pentagon: economic insecurity; security concerns over the prospect of China’s rising semiconductor capability, its contribution to the PLA modernisation, and the resultant shift in the balance of power in Beijing’s favour; technological insecurity over the prospect of semiconductor-targeted information warfare (i.e. chipping) and over the narrowing semiconductor technology gap; fear over the prospect of the denial or disruption of critical chip supply on account of foreign dependency. Conclusions are two-fold. Firstly, the scale and direction of globalisation of semiconductor production activities in the context studied has challenged some of our previous understanding of the under-studied economic phenomena. Secondly, the impact of the migration on the US-China-Taiwan security ties is less clear-cut than the original unexamined Realist claims have suggested.

The Sino-US relation is always the critical part among the international relations during the post-cold war era. As a rising power, China is influential to the regional issue about peace and stability. Therefore, according to its own plan, the US has enlarged and deepened the interactions with Beijing in several aspects such as economy, politics and military. Economic aspect, above all, is the most important. During the post-cold war era, economic interactions between China and the US have enlarged gradually year by year. However, political conflicts have occurred from time to time. With the instability of political environment, economic interdependence has become a restrictive factor to both sides. Although economic interdependence contributes to a peaceful relation, it might also discount peaceful achievements if other political factors remain unstable. Under this circumstance, the US-China Strategic Economic Dialogue (SED) has become a mechanism in order to strengthen mutual communication and cooperation in economic aspect. Economic aspect is the most stable part in both sides’relation and lager economic interactions also bring more mutual trans-national interests to both societies. The arrangement of SED therefore becomes the latest way of engagement between Washington and Beijing. In this thesis, this author focuses on the important variations and main issues among the US-China relation from the very beginning of China’s participation into the World Trade Organization to the fifth SED nowadays. This thesis reveals not only mutual economic relation but also comprehensive relation which is established through the SED. Also in this thesis, the author discusses both positive and negative factors among the progress of the SED. All these factors and the effects that have been triggered during the process are vital and fundamental parts for the further evaluation to the future US-China relation. After realizing the cause and effect of the SED, it will bring us a more systematic way to examine the transform of power in the international politics.

As the first constitutional republic established by Puritans, the American frontiers believed they are indorsed by God with manifest destiny to expand their physical territory in the new continent and build “Americana” by spreading American spiritual values of freedom and democracy to the whole world. Two centuries later, the United States has successfully become leader among all states and strongest framer and keeper of world order after the cold war. While China on the other hand, Den Xiao-ping’s efforts of “reform and opening-up” as well as “relation formalization” with the U.S. in late 1970s, has made China a economic power only next to the United States 40 years later, and now is striving for a great rejuvenation of “China dream” under President Xi Jing-pin’s leadership after years of “humiliated history”. The United States has no doubt been a major role in helping China’s economic rise and contradictorily made China a major power that in turn challenging U.S. hegemonic status. It is author’s intention to explore what original goal was when such inconsistent China policy was made. Historical research approach was adopted to explore policies in different period and concluded goals of Christianizing, modernizing, democratizing, pacifying, and subduing in time sequence were found as results of balanced consideration between realism and idealism in term of “Changing China.” Various policies such as peace evolution, sanction, engagement, congagement and containment were also made by US government to change and shape China’s behaviors owing to different time and space background and dynamical conditions of mutual relationship.

Abstract South China Sea control important international maritime trade route between the South China Sea to the Pacific and Indian Ocean,charged with the task of transport half of the world's merchant shipping, one third of oil and two third of liquefied natural gas.imports.In recent years, because of the South China Sea territorial sovereignty and maritime delimitation, fishing disputes, land reclamation, international arbitration so that the South China Sea issue getting sticky, almost become a powder keg, Due to the multi-national economic interests involved and the complexity of the interleaved between US active participation of the South China Sea became a hot Asia-Pacific region, and therefore the motivation to explore the South China Sea dispute and research of US-China in the South China Sea region to interact with the present paper. The United States and China are the world's two largest economies and military forces. In view of the United States since 2009, " rebalancing to Asia-Pacific " strategy and "core interest" of China in the South China Sea there is a structural contradictions and potential conflicts. South China Sea between the two countries for policy and interaction between the two countries, will shape the political development and regional security environment of this region, The purpose of this research will be realistic and to explore the theory of the balance of power between China and the US military, foreign policy and their interaction in the South China Sea disputes, compliance with the basic proposition of realism. The study found that China,United States and the South China Sea neighboring countries are as realism describing“the countries like in self-help environment, anarchy national security, survival as the highest principle, strengthen the arms race to construct defense force. South China Sea neighboring countries more as the balance of power theory for survival maximize security objectives, checks and balances rather than choose squire to continue its national survival”.The major international strategic issues disagreement between the United States, and China in the South China Sea ,the two countries to expand diplomatic and military interaction and confrontation, is still difficult to seek consensus and cooperation on security issues of mutual concern in. Describes the interaction between the United States, in the South China Sea is in line with realism, according to the current situation, the growing militarization of the South China Sea, increasing the chance of accidental discharge, do not rule out the possibility of local wars. Key words：rebalancing to Asia-Pacific，Realism，Balance of power theory.

The aim of this paper is to examine what effect Donald Trump’s tweets concerning the US-China trade war have on the US Stock Market, and hereby exploring a topic which to our knowledge has not been investigated previously. Specifically, the analysis is broken down in two parts: first, it looks at whether his tweets cause market movements and secondly it determines whether movements correlate with the sentiment of the tweet. Our results show that Trump’s tweets regarding President Xi increases market returns and decreases volatility. Moreover, tweets regarding trade, tariffs, imports, or exports decrease market returns. Finally, the sentiment of Trump’s tweets is also relevant in this context; positive tweets about President Xi correlates to increases in the market return.

The United States played the China card to gain an advantageous position in the US-China-USSR strategic triangle, and eventually abandoned Taiwan. China’s strategic position weakened when the Cold War ended, possibly led to an improved Washington-Taipei relations. With uncertainties in Eastern Asia, the United States continues to retain its influential power in the area. Meanwhile, China and Japan both attempted to achieve leadership in the region for a balance of power. The research aims to discuss: (1) Does the power struggle among the United States, China and Japan in Eastern Asia affect the US-China-Taiwan triangle? (2) Does the US-Japan alliance or American policy of engaging China affect the cross-strait status quo? This study aims to analyze trilateral interactions and role promotion in the US-China-Japan and the US-China-Taiwan triangles through the strategic triangle theory, and examine if the former triangle has a structural constrain on the latter. The research finds US-China-Japan strategic triangular relations emerged only after 1995-96 cross-strait crisis, and significantly affected the security and peace in Eastern Asia. However, the US-China-Japan triangle does not exercise any structural constraint on the development of the US-China-Taiwan triangle. The cross-strait status quo is mainly determined by the U.S. China policy.

In July 2009, United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joined ASEAN Regional Forum and announced US pivot to Asia policy. On January 5th 2012, US president Barack Obama attended US Department of Defense Sustaining U.S Global Leadership：Priorities for 20ST Century Defense press conference and indicated that US military will focus on Asia Pacific area, also brought up rebalancing for the first time. Obviously, goal of those statements are to prevent the rise of China destructs balance of power and stable order in Asia region. On the contrary, China makes no comment on “rebalancing” or “pivot to Asia”, only reaffirms China-US cooperation foundation and welcome US join Asia Pacific affairs in official statements. In 2010, Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments issued Air Sea Battle：A Point-of-Departure Operational Concept and mentioned PLA anti-access capability will cause US higher risk and expense for force projection in Asia region. Therefore US military invent air sea battle concept to cope with countries with anti-access capability and reposition US role in global security environment. This thesis will emphasis on US air sea battle and China anti-access strategies to evaluate how US rebalancing policy affects Asia Pacific region and cross strait stability.
