The Weaknesses Of China And The United States

Since 1899, America has maintained an open door policy with China. Throughout the years, relations between the United States and China have changed with several effects on both countries caused by the open door policy.

China and America are the biggest countries as well as them both being most successful countries. They are both dominant in their culture. However, they differ in the way they communicate and they are group motivated. For instance, the American culture is viewed as being individual and about one’s independence, whereas Asian American’s have a strong family value and believe in collectively working together as a culture. Also, Asian American has one of the hardest work ethics and believe that hard work pays off.

The U.S. trade deficit has risen more or less steadily since 1992. In the second quarter of 2004, the trade deficit relative to GDP surpassed the 5 percent mark for the first time. Many economists already considered trade deficits above 4 percent of GDP dangerously high. The fear is that continued growth in this external imbalance of the U.S. economy will ultimately spook overseas investors. http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2004/09/b193700.html

Understanding the differences and similarities inherent in other cultures may provide opportunities when working with individuals (or groups) who may have different cultural values, beliefs, and/or norms. There are multiple ways to explore different cultures. One way is through Hofstede’s (2017) cultural dimension; which are currently made up of six broad categories, including high-low power distance, individualism-collectivism, masculinity-femininity, uncertainty avoidance, long-short term orientation, and indulgence-restraint. It is beyond the scope of this paper to explore all these cultural dimensions in great detail; however, it is important to understand some of the implications of these scores. The scores for both the US and China can be seen in Table 1, along with the differences between each score.

The products of China played a role in the way the United States came about and how their identity was created and solidified. China was seen as influential and beneficial for the Americans through trade and customs that they brought along with them. Some individuals have traveled over to the United States for the Gold Rush and others just wanted a better life for their future and for their families’ future. There were other convincing reasons that pushed the Chinese to migrate away from their hometown into a new environment as well.

China, or People’s Republic of China, is a sovereign state located in East Asia. China spans 9.6 million kilometers making it the second largest country by land, only surpassed by Russia with 17.8 million kilometers. China is the most populated country on the planet with 1.35 billion people. Rich with history and tradition that goes back to ancient civilization, China has risen and fallen in power many times over. Within the last 30 years, China has become a dominant global leader once again and this has surprised many analysts due to their rapid success.

1900s China saw a century of fluctuating development and progress, which is recognised through various political, economic and social changes. The early division of the period encountered some change for the country yet this was not as significant as the latter change in which China’s political landscape metamorphosed into one of total contrast to the former. Foreign intervention was of course a reason and usually the root cause for the changes that occurred, particularly in the first half of the century until 1962 whereby there were still some minor influences by the foreigners but other factors seemed to have caused these later changes. It could be deduced that yes, foreign powers did have a significant influence over the transformation

The United States will lose to China as the World’s most powerful country. First of all, everybody knows that America is the most wasteful nation on the planet. The majority of Americans live only for the present time and do not concern for the future. They would rather purchase cans of soda than drink free tap water and then generate tons of waste every day. The leftover food that American families and businesses throw out at the end of the day could feed millions of starving people. As a result, their losses of billions of dollars per year from their food waste effect their economy. On the other hand, Chinese people do not live for the moment, spending everything they earn. They save and plan for the future. Furthermore, China has the highest

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the Cold War was over, making the U.S. the only superpower left in the world. This has made the international system much more tranquil, and relaxed. The only country potentially powerful besides the U.S., is China. Many Americans fear China, not only because they are communist, but also because of their huge population. Their population is 1.3 billion people, which accounts 1/5th of the world’s population. As one of the only potential superpowers in the world, it would be in the best interest of all Americans if the U.S. and China became allies, instead of enemies. Peace and development, economic prosperity and social progress, are goals that both of

China has a network of lakes, ponds, reservoirs, streams and rivers spread all over the country. Inland water area totals is about 17.5 million ha, almost 1/50 of the land area. Annual rainfall in China is about 6,000 billion m3, of which 2,600 billion m3 forms the country's water resources.

The events that have taken place over the past couple of centuries, and more so the past decade, have monumentally impacted the relationship between the United States and China for better and for worse. Today, China and the U.S. have evolved into two of the most elite superpowers in the world, and they classify as some of the most prominent leaders in economics, military, technology, and universal innovation. Currently, the United States is just weeks away from electing their next president, cyber-attacks are being investigated exponentially, and the South China Sea Debate continues to be disputed. The outcomes of all these events will undoubtedly affect the relationship between China and the United States for the next 10 years.

Sino-American relations began with the founding of the United States in the late 18th century, during the Qing dynasty. The first representatives of the United States went to China in 1784 on a ship named the Empress of China, landing in Canton. Soon afterwards, in 1785 China, three Chinese sailors became stranded in Baltimore. Since these early contacts the relationship between the two nations has expanded as international and political changes came into being. Today, the relationship is multifaceted with China being the United States’ largest creditor and bilateral relations developing on a personal and governmental level.

So far, Trump has managed to antagonize the Mexican president and the Islamic world as well as harangue the Australian prime minister and the French president. More interestingly, after reaching out to his Chinese counterpart via a letter in which he expressed a desire to form a "constructive relationship", Trump decided to accept the traditional US approach of pursuing a "One China" policy.

The United States and China aspire to command the world economy, but their lifestyle and standpoints look like east and west. When comparing the U.S. and China in Hofstede 6 dimensions model, there were four main dimensions that are strikingly distinctive. These dimensions include individualism, power distance, long-term orientation, and indulgence. Recognizing cultural differences is the first step towards understanding each other. The difference between the United States and China are pronounced, and they merit rigorous examination.
