The Problem of ‘Mutual Trust’
With the end of America’s presidential campaign and the close this week of China’s 18th Communist Party Congress, leaders of these two countries now have to look ahead and consider how to handle their relations for the next four years.
President Obama, in selecting Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia for his first trip abroad after re-election, is indicating his persistence in pivoting America’s focus to East Asia, a strategy that implies a new round of competition between China and the United States. The stability of China-U.S. relations will be determined by how capable the leaders of both countries are at developing tangible means of cooperation — rather than continuing their counterproductive talk about “mutual trust.”… Seguir leyendo »

Los orígenes de la conducta china
Hace seis décadas, el diplomático estadounidense George Kennan escribió un artículo, “Los orígenes de la conducta soviética”, que galvanizó la opinión norteamericana y mundial, que pronto se endureció hasta adoptar las posturas rígidas de la Guerra Fría. Hoy, dada la decisiva influencia de China en la economía global, y su creciente capacidad para proyectar poder militar, entender los orígenes de la conducta china se ha convertido en una cuestión central en las relaciones internacionales. De hecho, un mejor entendimiento de las motivaciones en materia de política exterior de China puede ayudar a impedir que las relaciones entre China y Estados Unidos se endurezcan al punto de convertirse en posturas rígidas y antagónicas.… Seguir leyendo »
