International Order and Sino-US Strategic Competition

Zhu Feng

    The most notable changes of international system are the rise of emerging market and developing countries and the change of the balance of power between China and major coun- tries in the world.  In terms of the two countries strength position and global impact  Sino-US strategic competition will not change international order in the short term. Even China keeps criticizing and challenging the trade bullyism practices of the US administration and its security  and military actions in Indo-Pacific region it does not mean that China and US can  not cooperate or have begun to compete for dominance in a transitional international order. Sino-US strategic competition will coexist with trade and necessary cooperation between the two countries. Sino-US strategic competition will affect the change of power ideas and behaviour and its development will to some extent decide the stability and change of international order.  But its not the only determinant.  The future of Sino-US strategic competition and international order will depend on the interactions of major countries in the world and   their strategic decisions.

Reform for a Better World China and International System toward Coevolution

Wei Ling

    Facing changes unprecedented in the past hundred years and entering into a  new  era China needs to promote coevolution between itself and the international system. Coevolution proposed by this paper is a process where an agent interacts proactively with the system it dwells in to promote mutual adjustment and accommodation and  positive mutual  feedback   for common progress.  During the process   the greater impact the agent has on the system  the greater agency it employs the more likely the coevolution is to be achieved.  Agency  as  the core of the theory works through the agents practices for the resolution of structural con- flicts and the coevolution between the agent and the system. As China continues to rise in in- ternational system it needs to fully employ its agency and engage in both domestic and inter- national reform practices to promote coevolution between itself and the system. While improving domestic governance for  sustainable development China needs to play a more active   role in combating transnational threats and shouldering international responsibilities and further commit itself to the reform of international institutions the improvement of global gov- ernance and the progress of international cooperation and international system.

The Impact of Sino USTrade Frictions on Cross Strait Economy and the Countermeas- ures

Hu fang

    According to the theoretical analysis of international trade Sino-US trade friction mainly originates from the gain and loss of interests in bilateral trade between China and the United States. The Sino US trade frictions initiated by the United States focus on the international supply chain trade. The way and method of the frictions are mainly the implementation of tar- iffs and other policy means and the purpose is to obtain  huge economic  benefits.  Through  trade and investment the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have formed closer economic relations especially the industrial chain trade and investment relations.  The tariff and other means used  by the United States in this Sino US trade friction will cause changes in cross strait economic relations especially in industrial chain trade and investment relations. In response to this Sino US trade friction the mainland and Taiwan have implemented policies and measures that are conducive to cross strait economic relations especially industrial chain trade and investment.

Zhang Xiaolei

    The strategic thought of seapower is updated along with the age. Economic transforma- tion caused by reform and opening up is an important driving force for the development of Chinas seapower. From the beginning of the reform and opening up to 1985 the offshore defense strategy was formed. From 2008 when China participated in escort missions in the Indian Ocean and put forward the strategic idea of cooperation at sea. In 2015 China set the strategic goal of building a  open seas protection navy. Chinas military strength and mari- time strategic activities have made continuous progress. Chinas export - oriented economic structure and overseas lifeline have been strengthened from scratch thus the development of power has been continuously stimulated and promoted. The strategy of Chinas seapower com- plies with and serves the national strategy and complies with the requirements of maritime power . Chinas seapower changes with the time.  Strategic  thoughts theories  and  practices are constantly formed. At the same time Chinas development of  seapower  needs  to  face such problems as gaming changes in the international economic  pattern  accelerating  mili- tary modernization strengthening overseas pivots expanding military cooperation and con- trolling the development limit of maritime rights.
