Concerns about China present Canada with a conundrum, particularly as trade ties between the two countries continues to grow
The more bare-knuckled China policy represents a shift for Biden, who took a softer stance toward the country under the Obama administration. But an increasingly bellicose and authoritarian China under President Xi Jinping has created a bi-partisan consensus in the U.S. toward the country. Some foreign policy experts believe that animosity across China-U.S. lines will only intensify given historical trends, and as Xi sees a perceived decline in America’s international dominance.
From China’s perspective, aggressive diplomacy tactics are a necessary response to the so-called “century of humiliation,” when foreign powers including the U.K., U.S. and Russia began advancing well beyond China’s capabilities, causing the once-powerful nation to suffer a string of bruising defeats.Article content
China and its leadership tend to view their current revival as a return to the natural order of things.Instead, Xi has framed China’s rise mostly as an economic reorientation rather than an effort to export ideological beliefs abroad, analysts say.
Taken in isolation, China’s bid for economic supremacy wouldn’t pose a problem for Western allies. But ever since the country joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, it has continued to undermine multilateral institutions while reaping the rewards of more liberalized trade, McCuaig-Johnston said.Article content
