Imminent Question?
China's fifty-eighth anniversary of the establishment of the People's Republic of China is to be celebrated on Monday, October first. Over the past few years China has experienced, and the world has witnessed an incredible amount of growth. At a forum this past summer, I had the opportunity and priveledge to listen to Cheng Li, Senior Fellow in the Foreign Policy Studies Program at the Brookings Institution, speak on behalf of the National Committee of United States-China Relations. Cheng Li spoke of the impact China and the United States have on one another economically. The forum was upbeat, informative, and very interesting. Li gave much insight into the statistical growth and potential economic reward linked to the proper utilization and control over Chinese expansion. Li also theorized that China will approach it's continuing race towards one of the top five wealthiest coutries, with a capitalistic focus.
Of those who attended the forum, many had questions pertaining to looming military action between the two, from Li's perspective, superpowers. I have recently observed such questions, pertaining to an inevitable military meeting, with a brush of the shoulder. Many scholars and U.S. leaders act as though there will never be any troubles militarily between the two countries. In my opinion, and only time will tell, a standoff between the two nations will occur at some point in the future. I feel as though there will be no action in the near future or possible our lifetime. However, it is my opinion that the U.S. is now, and will continue to feel threatened by China's growth. At present China and the U.S. hold many qualities and opportunities which the other could benefit. However, due to recent happenings, one can see for themselves that the U.S. does not take it lightly when countries in possession of economic opportunity do not give way to democratic systems, intervention is imminent. The future poses an argument among fierce competitors. Whether it be militarily or bureaucratically in the end, too much money is at risk between countries of tradition, competition, and stubborness.
