The Political Logic of the US–China Trade War


Book Description

This is the first comprehensive study by the world’s leading scholars about the political logic of the U.S.-China trade war that started during the Trump administration. The book is divided into three parts. The first part looks at changed leadership styles of the two countries in the last few years. It also examines the liberal international order since World War II in which the trade war emerged. It then explores the theoretical perspectives from both the United States and China that are related to the trade war. The second part is about the domestic factors that impacted on the trade war from China’s perspective. These factors include China’s institutional adaptation of the new international environment, the radicalization of the Chinese political discourse, and Big Power Diplomacy. The third part explores the U.S. domestic factors that impacted the trade war, such as the Trump administration’s different China policy in general, the role played by the U.S. Congress, business lobby, and the transition of foreign policy from a Wilsonian World Order to Jacksonian Nationalism.

Love and Trade War


Book Description

This book puts the trade war between the United States and China in historical context. Exploring the dynamics of isolation and internal reform from a Chinese perspective, the author draws upon valuable insights from China's years of isolation prior to the famous Nixon-Mao summit. Advocating internal reform as a more productive strategy than conflict with other powers, this powerful argument for globalization with Chinese characteristics will be of interest to scholars of China, economists, and political scientists.

The Tragedy of Great Power Politics (Updated Edition)


Book Description

"A superb book.…Mearsheimer has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the behavior of great powers."—Barry R. Posen, The National Interest The updated edition of this classic treatise on the behavior of great powers takes a penetrating look at the question likely to dominate international relations in the twenty-first century: Can China rise peacefully? In clear, eloquent prose, John Mearsheimer explains why the answer is no: a rising China will seek to dominate Asia, while the United States, determined to remain the world's sole regional hegemon, will go to great lengths to prevent that from happening. The tragedy of great power politics is inescapable.




The United States vs. China


Book Description

After leading the world economy for a century, the United States faces the first real challenge to its supremacy in the rise of China. Is economic (or broader) conflict, well beyond the trade war that has already erupted, inevitable between the world’s two superpowers? Will their clash produce a new economic leadership vacuum akin to the 1930s when Great Britain abandoned its leadership role and a rising United States was unwilling to step in to save the global order? In this sweeping and authoritative analysis of the competition for global economic leadership between China and the United States, C. Fred Bergsten warns of the disastrous consequences of hostile confrontation between these two superpowers. He paints a frightening picture of a world economy adopting Chinese characteristics in which the United States, after Trump abdicated much of its role, engages in a self-defeating attempt to “decouple” from its rival. Drawing on more than 50 years of active participation as a policymaker and close observation as a scholar, Bergsten calls on China to exercise constructive global leadership and on the United States to reject a policy of containment, avoid a new Cold War and instead pursue “conditional competitive cooperation” to work with its allies and China to lead, rather than destroy, the world economy.




Trade War With China


Book Description

I bet we will have a trade war with China. It will be at least during Trump's presidency. We have trade wars with many countries including EU, Japan and even Mexico. Our allies eventually would side with China even they suffer from their own trade war. Russia would trade more with China and could be a military ally.Chapter 1 states my predictions and my reasons. The next chapters describes impacts to us, China and rest of the world. There are not winners between the countries involved in the trade war. However, there are a few winners such as Vietnam, Ericsson and Nokia.The next chapters describe why the trade war is started and the two most affected companies: Huawei and Apple.There are selected chapters from other books I wrote included here as part of this book. They are: Book 2: "Can China Say No?"Book 3: "Understand ourselves and China".Book 4: "Global economies". The following are some highlighted articles from these books.-"Can China Say No?" Book 2 Chapter 1.-"Shenzhen". Book 2 Chapter 5.-"The myths on China". Book 3. Chapter 1.-"Actions to fix our problems". Book 3. Chapter 2.-"Consumption vs. investing". Book 3 Chapter 3.-"My economic theories". Book 4 Chapter 28.-"My coconut theory". Book 4 Chapter 29.Many U.S. books are very hawkish on China. They make U.S. citizens feel good as they are what they want to hear. Chinese are in the opposite side. I hope my book is in the middle. I try to find out facts and express them with my opinions. I'm not a US basher. US is still the leader in most sectors such as economics, science, military and politics. China has been reducing the gaps in the last 30 years. My personal wealth is tied up in the US stock market, so I hope the US would prosper. Being a US citizen born in Hong Kong, US is first to me and China second. We have less problems than China. However, if we do not know our problems, how can we fix them? Several articles including the article "Actions to fix our problems" suggest how to fix our problems.Many researches in this book are opinions from many sources. Most sources from established U.S. and EU media such as Economist are more unbiased. I find CGTN, an English-speaking, Chinese TV network is informative and less biased. Many YouTube videos from Hong Kong in Cantonese are neutral in China topics. Many opinions are gathered from reputable U.S. magazines. I translate their opinions and include some in this book.Size: 235 pages (6*9).Initial date: 06/2019
