How did Australia go from a Kevin Rudd as PM to a 🤮Morrison🤮?
The problem with Americans citing "Rules of the Road", "Norms" and "Status Quo" tend to be ill-defined and opportunistically selected to fit their narrative and goals, even when they involve actual international agreements the USA is not a party to. Who made these "rules"? Who's "norms"? Who's "Status Quo"? To a large extent, the unresolved problems in Asia, particularly East Asia are the result of a post-WWII order determined largely by the USA in concert with it's former adversaries and then new military client states. This is not durable. This is not chiseled in stone. At a point, if the US cannot recognize China as an equal player and take the opportunity (Obama passed on) to form a partnership and power-sharing arrangement, conflict will be the order. But they are talking, that is a start.
Rudd - There is no standardized and uniform form of democracy beyond primary school dictionary definition, and in fact, the form constitutionally defined and practiced in the USA stray far from that. Therefore, just as "Western" democracies use it as a slogan and rhetorical tool, Chinese/others are free to interpret it as it might apply in their cases. It is a grey scale, no?
Cutler - Any foreign party that will be put off of investment and business in China due to the inconvenience of COVID related regulations, is neither committed to the market and not sufficiently localized. If we are discussing small buyers for trade shows, they will come and go because they are opportunistic, and will return when the local environment gets on even keel. Or not, if they find cheaper/better suppliers elsewhere; which is certainly the trend when it comes to low tech, labor-intensive products. Trading into China requires a commitment to the market to succeed, if a 2 week quarantine is a deal-killer and there is no alternative process, they are not serious enough to succeed. The usual suspects wills long through the long march back, that is the global situation and not unique to China.
Thank you , Kevin Rudd .
Great talk; very glad that the tensions have been dialled down, without either leader losing face. I'm impressed that Biden and Xi could discuss these issues honestly and without rancour. Amazing what happens when a country (US) elects a leader who isn't insane.
Thanks Kevin , a long way to go yet but great analysis & insight shared by all .
Thanks, very informative!
What a great representation of Asia society!
Great talk, very insightful.
Excellent! Thank you!
great analysis, neutral, and factual, and with due respect to both the leaders. thank you for giving China some justice.
Great talk. Thanks.
It is good to see temperature is reduced by a notch or two but there should be a much more commitment on the part of China to adhere to principles of laws and agreements and must accept to abide by principles of international laws of contracts by which it must abide by and be punished comprehensively for its failures to honour such commitments
The US leads a coalition of nations that share values and that leads to trust. These nations are partners in the true sense and despite the inevitable squabbles, power is shared. Since every nation must follow its own best interests, American interests can diverge from the interests of its partners and vice versa. However, when it comes to China, the lack of shared value means that there cannot be trust and thus at best interactions will be transactional. Thus America sharing power with China in East Asia cannot come about without consensus within the American led coalition of allies both in region and across the world. For example, I find it hard to fathom Japan acquiescing to a forced takeover of Taiwan by the PRC. Despite the dominance of American power within the coalition that it leads, the US must weigh carefully the views and interests of its partners. It should be abundantly clear that American power relies on its partnerships with strong and capable allies and any conflict with the PRC will not be with the US standing alone.
