tough talk between the United States and China is a diplomatic solution more difficult than ever

spread in March, when the novel crown over the United States began, many Americans support him went shopping for household freezers reduce trips to the grocery store. They quickly discovered that there was to be none. Some force from September retail outlets nationwide and small appliance retailers said customers are available, but no one could certainly full of freezer until a truck to the loading dock saved. The sudden increase in demand has been a problem. But another, appliance retailers say is that most home freezers, like hundreds of other devices and appliances such as air conditioners, are made in China, where COVID-19 factories have been disabled. Even those Chinese appliances in use in America products panels, printed circuit boards and wire harnesses. Four months later, while think tanks and government officials the opportunity to Trump debate administration “to China’s total decoupling,” incitement as president proposed in June, many American consumers already assume that their homes could tensions victims growing between the US and China. Decoupling of the Chinese economy is that the Trump administration has faced in Beijing in recent weeks in a growing list of threats, sanctions and reminders. The deterioration in the confrontation between the two colossal economic powers did look like a wrestling match, opponents blocked together and try to throw each other off their feet or the global ring. For Trump, reining in China that rarely a topic of conversation during the latter part of a campaign to support the embattled re-election is having both parties. But as the difficult conversation from both Democrats and Republicans will be even more difficult, it is increasingly difficult to see where the United States to find a ramp after both parties have to constantly be another soft on China a defendant. A sense that matters in Washington. Subscribe to daily direct current, short newsletter. So far, China has largely confined his answers on rhetoric and symbolic actions, such as Republican lawmakers apart cards. The Foreign Minister Wang Yi said his Russian counterpart in a telephone call on 17 that the United States government in July “lost his mind, morale and credibility”, according to the South China Morning Post. Earlier this month, FBI Director Christopher Wray China calls “the greatest long-term threat to our nation’s information and intellectual property and our economic vitality,” and on July 14, “the Secretary of State David R. Stilwell said that only the naive or co-opted fiction nor Beijing good global citizenship “. after the crown pandemic outbreak in China, the introduction of tough new security laws in Hong Kong, and growing military horseman in the South China Sea, the administration Trump wavered from his initial attitude of a global trade agreement with China looking for ways to punish Beijing’s actions. On June 18, Trump signed legislative sanctions against Chinese officials have denied the US charges Muslim minority Uighurs in the country. On July 14, he returned to his position a larger trade agreement with China on the persecution, something that had a major element of his reelection step. “I’m interested not only in talks with China,” Trump said in an interview with CBS News. “We have a big trade agreements. But once the operation is completed, the ink was not dry again, and they beat us with the plague.” Observers say that the attitude widespread support among American voters before the election. “It will continue to become President Trump rhetoric on China stronger, and I expect this trend will continue at least until November,” says Zack Cooper of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. “The only question foreign policy largely agree on Republicans and Democrats, China. There is little political space between now and the election to go easier for the Communist Party.” When the rhetoric is tough on both sides, the reality is harsher. The two economies Nations are so closely linked the total Trump decoupling has threatened experts agree impossible, in part because their impact would strongly felt for research freezers and air conditioning. “It would be officially pressed No reasonable policy for a complete decoupling,” said Yukon Huang, Senior Fellow at the Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. But, he adds, “there are no degrees” that decoupling could be when things on the head in the direction of the current on and can still have a negative impact in both countries. Most experts agree that the most likely target for a certain amount of decoupling which can be important for both economies nations: technology. The United States already with some success as allies U.K. Australia and convince Huawei 5G facilities bars with which US officials say poses security threats, and considering similar measures against other Chinese Internet applications and TikTok. US law enforcement officials have not publicly presented evidence that Huawei’s systems have been used for espionage. Despite rapid progress on many fronts, still suffers from China by some important technological disadvantages, including the production of more compact semiconductor, complex and powerful, and advanced electronic architecture are essential, says Michael Brown, director of the Defense innovations Defense Unit . China is lagging behind the United States and many of its allies in the production of advanced microchips fashion for cars and import needs, Aaron Klein, Brookings Institution Fellow in Economic Studies, said a recent Brookings seminar. Another matter of concern have extended the rising tensions in the South China Sea for the military maneuvers close to Taiwan, the self-governing island holds its own on Beijing’s sovereignty that could be dangerous if there is an accident or miscalculation. Statement Mike Pompeo Secretary, 13 that China’s activities in the South China Sea, where most of China claims as territory are “illegal” opened in July brings moved to punish the characteristics of the Chinese United States, in particular the his interference with fish and production of oil and gas the other regional claimants, including the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia, says a US expert on China, spoke on condition of anonymity. While the Chinese plans are known to use their first new amphibious assault ship, the US has two aircraft carrier battle groups sent in the “Indo-Pacific, a free and open media,” he said the navy said in a statement on July 17 , the Navy has denied that the movement had no political overtones. “The presence of the carrier was not in response to specific political or world events,” the statement said. This carousel is unlikely to say an outright military conflict to trigger several US officials and outside experts. Beijing, they argue, does not want to directly challenge the United States, so that when they faced a tendency on the part of the US military in the sea or in the air down. But others disagree. Rep. Ted Yoho, a Florida Republican and member predicted the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, “a clash within the next three to six months” with China in a recent interview with the Washington Examiner. “Knowing China, I believe, what they would ram one of our ships and says it is a mistake,” he told the newspaper. (As the Chinese navy is no record of hitting US ships has in this way, was indicted by Vietnam such attacks on their ships in disputed waters.) The biggest danger is that such an accident or a mistake of calculations could quickly escalate out of control, in which three current and former employees. Shortly after George W. Bush from his office in 2001 took place, a Chinese J-8 fighter jet collided with a US Navy EP-3E reconnaissance. The Chinese plane crashed and its pilot was later pronounced dead. The US aircraft held an emergency landing on the Chinese island of Hainan, where its crew members were 24 and interrogated. They were released 10 days later, after the Bush administration issued a letter that he was “very sad” over the incident. “GET is the question of how bad things if a muscular China and the current US government would be ready, willing or able to defuse this situation today,” says a former official who has served in several Republican administrations. “If they are not, or if hardliners take turn as Pompey the opposite of what (former Secretary of State Colin) Powell then we managed to find a war that nobody wants.”
