    James Fallows believes that the new U.S. Presidential administration needs to rethink its foreign policy strategy with China. He states that the U.S. has built a relationship with China under the premise that a more prosperous and connected China would ultimately help the U.S. further its global goals and projects. But Fallows calls this premise into question. He argues that the Asian giant has become increasingly repressive at home in recent years, in unprecedented ways. Meanwhile, China has outwardly projected an increase in confidence and aggression. It is no longer clear that a difficult U.S.-China relationship provides the best opportunity for the U.S. to realize its potential. Fallow believes that, more and more, a rising China impedes…

    The fall of Saddam Hussein’s rule in 2003 saw a shift in the Iraq political situation. Fostered by the U.S. intervention, the Sunni, who were the minority and in power lost it to the majority Shia. Many leaders in the Middle East expressed their worry over the increasing influence of the Shia in Iraq (Nasr, 2006). Following this, Iran, primarily a Shiite country began to suggest a foreign policy that was more aggressive in the Near East, where Iraq is located. This action by Iran caused apprehension by neighboring countries who contemplated that Iran had plans to expand its Shiite influence. Further apprehension was reinforced by the fixation that Iran has on the issue of nuclear weapons.…

    Iran has had a turbulent history not just its recent past. From a democracy in the 1950s, Iran seems to have moved backwards, from an authoritarian regime that overthrew the democratic one, to a religious fundamentalist regime toppling the authoritarian one and taking an anti-West stance. The brutal war through the 1980s against Iraq where over 1 million people died has left deep and lasting political and ethnic scars between the two countries. More recently, Iran was described as being part of an “axis of evil” by US President George Bush, as part of his “war on terror.” The US has also accused Iran of pursuing the development of nuclear weapons, while Iran says it is only pursuing peaceful development. The resistance of iran…

    China's National Interests

    Taiwan continues to be a contentious issue for the Chinese government. Despite Taiwan having recognised sovereignty by 23 states, the PRC refuses to grant such recognition in the interests of the One China policy. The PRC remains vigilant in disallowing Taiwan’s secession from the mainland. The island receives special treatment by US through aid, billions in defence funding, and the promise of military actions as dictated by the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act. The PRC’s response to this has been the tactic of ‘anti-access/area denial’. If Taiwan were to attempt formal secession, it would incur a pre-emptive strike which would slow down US tactical movements. The PRC enacted the 2005 Anti-secessionist Act which legally requires an invasion of Taiwan if it ever attempted to secede. As well as these tactics, the PRC has used ‘soft power’ in order…

    On the surface, Iran and Israel have much in common. They are both Middle Eastern countries that are steeped in history. They are both countries in which much of society revolves around religion. In both countries some segment of the population fights daily to be accepted as and treated as equals. Even with those similarities, there are some glaring differences that have accounted for many years of tension amongst the two nations.…
