POLS 071 Chapter January 21st Reading-China:
Document Summary
Us policy regarding china since the nixon administration: Forthright disagreement when economic interests and political values clash (a) calculated cold war style hostility would be more damaging. The china of 2016 is more repressive than five or 10 years ago: there is a consistent evidence that they are cracking down, closing up, and lashing out in ways different than in the past. Indifference to the partnership part of the us-china relationship. The opportunity for the united states to set new terms to our relationship is most likely to command their attention now, the start of a new administration. This held for a long time, but now it is less the case. China"s internet is now more strictly separated from the rest of the world"s. Vpns used to bypass security and access global web are under attack by the government. Jinping frequently issue statements decrying dissent, especially from press.
