Effects of Cold War in China

Due to the high rate at which human rights, trade, and security were violated, U.S. Security Policy was established so that to combat this problem during the cold war era. Geopolitical tension among superpower in the eastern bloc and western bloc resulted in the cold war. The United States and other allies developed foreign policies which were meant to combat the political pressure among nations which were the major sources of tension within nations. China human right agency integrated negotiated with U.S. over the closer of Beijing-Washington marathon. As a result, the differences in worldview and historical experience lead them to differ in issues about security policies. The difference in security was as a result of unipolar and multipolarization between this two nations. Besides, availability of resources also contributed to policy differences. Therefore, each country adopted different ways of security, economic, and political in the interest of Asia. In order to ensure peaceful coexistence, both nations had to shift their current security strategies and formed a collation that will maintain peace. Thus, U.S. integrated with China bordering countries so that to force it to sign an agreement no security according to “The Cambridge History of the Cold War” (Leffler 453).

In both countries, this documental policy had similar objectives on Asian interest. Therefore, both countries wanted to form a coalition which will continue to maintain peace within Asia. Due to increase in geopolitical pressure, U.S. and China wanted all Asian countries to reduce tension among themselves. For instance, in Korea, China and U.S. discouraged use of nuclear weapons, the war between the South and North Korea. Both nations wanted to restore the Republic of North Korea through supplying of resources such as food material. Later they encouraged reconciliation between the two Korea, which outlined that any order would depend on security and public opinion, and the surrounding countries should closely interact with these two countries to hinder any form of disagreement that may arise. Thus, China and U.S. were driven by strategic reasons to see that all nations exist peaceful and reduce the tension of cold war. The main aim of this policy was to enhance political reconciliation, economic integration, and cooperation among the nation. This will enhance national development and discourage enmity among nations which could lead deadly wars as explained in “The Cambridge History of the Cold War”  (Leffler 56).

Despite many similarities, this policy had some differences among U.S and China. U.S. wanted to form a large super alliance with many countries to combat the effect of communist countries. Also, U.S. wanted the alliance to follow its security strategies. This alliance was to be the source of reinforcement in case communist invade U.S. In addition, U.S. wanted source of resources to maintain its industries. On the other hand, China wanted to end this tension of cold war and enhance state-to-state relation. Therefore, it encouraged on improvement and enhancement of political and economic relations instead of forming security ties which could endanger other nations according to “The Cold War”  (Stein 543). This difference was as a result of the availability of resources. U.S. had enough resources which made its military to be very powerful and thus, it wanted to fetch more resources on the allies so that to improve its defense industry. In contrary, China was a developing country and wanted nations to cooperate and integrate into the development and enhancing economic activities among nations such as, trading which could help in nations development and reduce tension among countries. Therefore, China wanted a nation which will cooperate and provide a market for its products rather than enhancing securities ties according to “Communitarian Foreign Policy”  (Gvosdev 90).

China targeted multipolarized nations which will enhance economic development and improve intraregional political discussion around Asia. This will enhance equality among nations, and thus resources will be evenly distributed so that no nation will fill more superior than the other. Therefore, the tension between nations over power will reduce. Also, China wanted to increase its influence in other nations so that to improve the economy by creating more market. As a result, due to its limited resource, U.S. was trying to hinder this objective, and thus, it wanted to remain as a superpower (Gvosdev 98). Thus, it could be able to control other nations as they look for support from it and therefore, U.S. will pull more resources from those countries in the name of assisting them. Besides, U.S. did not abide by the others nations’ policies since it felt that it was a superpower and thus, it failed to distribute power equality and encouraged unipolar system as explain in “The Cambridge History of the Cold War” (Leffler 366).

Both countries, the major role was to restore peace and reduce the tension that existed. This was through the formation of cooperation among nation so that to improve the economy. They tried to finance and investing in those countries so that to increase the relationship between the nations. On the other hand, this alliance led to the emergence of international crisis on the administration. For instance, America wanted to use force to resolve the crises that were in Taiwan while Chinese demanded that the issue affected Taiwan was a domestic problem and there was no need to engage forces but instead, they could deploy a diplomatic dialogue between the two parties. Mao stated that the United States intervention in Taiwan was a threat to the whole alliance. This increased the disagreement among members since America; the superpower was demolishing other nation authority to make a decision as explained in “The Cambridge History of the Cold War” (Nicole 65).

Resources were the major challenge faced both countries. To ensure that they cover a wide area, they need a lot of resources to finance these activities. Also, for the target countries to accept they offer, the must be financed. This demolishes the chance to reach many countries. On the other hand, China was a developing country thus the little resources it has been to finance its economy. Therefore, it played a little role in pulling more resource to other countries, but instead, it wanted to form collations that will allow all countries to share their economic grievances together (Nicole 290). U.S. being a superpower had more resources and used the target countries as a source of resources. Due to experiences on the availability of resources such as mineral U.S. benefited and preserved these assets in post-cold war, while on the other hand, China had little memory about the alliances because U.S. formed direct or indirect collations. America believed in that with technology everything is possible. This is due to high level of technology development that leads to the production of deadly weapons. China believed that everything is absolute this is because of dialectical in their thinking as illustrated in “The Cambridge History of the Cold War” (Nicole 256).

During the Taiwan issue, China target was to enhance political, nationality and strategic policies on security. Beijing has been struggling to enhance a peaceful solution, but after the U.S. involvement, it formed an obstacle in the achieving of the solutions. This leads to china forming some assumption about United State towards Taiwan. According to U.S. Taiwan remains as part of it sphere influence. Besides, U.S. wanted Taiwan to be politically independent so that to prevent a war which could hinder it from acquiring mineral resources as explained in “The Cold War” (Adams 789). Therefore, U.S. offered military support to Taiwan. For example, training, provision of military technology and intelligence services according to. On the other hand, China developed a rivalry U.S. as it was given the Taiwan Relation Act award so that to keep control of Taiwan. China was so concerned about the military tie between U.S. and Taiwan. This was due to a large transfer of the military weapon to Taiwan, and thus, it violated the 1982 communiqué which was signed by Beijing and Washington. The more weapons Taiwan had, the high chance of not talking to the mainland. This was due to U.S. assisting Taiwan to produce false information as illustrated in “The Cambridge History of the Cold War” (Leffler 678).

U.S. broke the agreement which was signed in Beijing and Washington about the supply of weapon. The U.S. military helped in encouraging separation tendency in Taiwan. Therefore, in case this separation was too successful, Beijing was to use force so that to maintain the sovereignty of China and the country integrity. The U.S. military forces were the challenges to China’s security when they contributed to the development of hegemonic orders as explained in The Cold War  (Taylor 67). This was to be established in the United States as the regional lead, and thus, China felt that they are threatened and as a result, of overreaction due to high development rate. Many people from U.S. discourage the way it was growing since it could be a major challenge and threat to U.S. The main aim of China was to prevent the tension that could arise among nations. U.S. misunderstood China since it saw as though they are competing for power while as China wanted to ensure peaceful existence among nations, as a result, Poor understanding of China legitimate and national interest as explained in “Communitarian Foreign Policy” (Gvosdev 36).

In conclusion, Security policy in China played a greater role in maintaining peace among nations. This was done through ensuring equality and minimizes case of superiority crisis among the neighboring countries. The main aim of U.S. was to ensure that it gets a strong alliance that could help to conquer the spread of their rivals. Therefore, they were to form a strong military tie. On the other hand, China was to form a coalition that will help to reduce tensions in the nation and encourage regional development through formations of political and economic consultants among members. The availability of resource made U.S. felt so superior, and all nations should fall its orders, this lead to development of disagreement with china. Besides, it had started violating terms and conditions of alliance. China grows rate was very high that even America feared it that it might be overtaken. To reduce the geopolitical pressure, both America and China a discouraged use of a deadly weapon such as nuclear bombs. Due to continuous disagreement with U.S. the rate of industrialization in China grew very fast so that to conquer the superiority of United State. U.S facilitated in the separation of North and South Korea. This separation was as a result of offering military materials in contrary with China which wanted them to embrace dialogue between the two parties.
