Different regions and nation states of the world have diverse opinions on China and the United States. According to enquiries the attitude towards these two dominant countries is always fluid. The public point of view towards the two countries is majorly centered on reciprocated paybacks and the command of influence. It can be argued out that United States is predominantly popular with its associates as opposed to China that has no long term allies. This expounds China’s poor foreign policy as compared to the United States. This paper’s emphasis is on the display of China by media both in North America and in Europe. A number of newspaper articles have been prudently reviewed to deduct their content as regards China and the drives behind such news coverage.
Most of the media from United States share a public cynicism of China and assess it as a competitor of the United States. The media is also highly intoxicated with perpetual foreign syndrome. The stereotype is essentially directed towards Asian Americans. General public recognizes media to be impartial and unbiased. When such typecast is conveyed by media as a fact lots of people are influenced to believe. In reality, the media has its own biases and before any inferences are made self-re-examination is very important.
Chinas political and military mighty revolutions are clearly demonstrated in East China Sea between China and its customary adversaries Korea and Japan. In the Daily Mail, Chinese adjoining countries and the world see China as an intimidator due to it’s persistent over stepping on its obligation.

This is a resource rich region that has equally United States and China meddling in their affairs. “The well retained Chinese needling against vital United States associates in East Asia are intended to show both the world and Asia that the United States cannot be trustworthy to honor its reciprocated defense treaties’’ (Associated Press, 2014).

  • The Fall Of The Unipolar Concert By Thomas Wright

    1683 Words  | 4 Pages

    Thomas Wright’s “The Fall of the Unipolar Concert” describes the decline of U.S. global power to other states like Russia and China. It claims that these countries have been initiating revisionist and power balancing measures that threaten U.S. global hegemony. Russia brings back a light red scare by annexing Crimea to stop the expansion of the European Union and NATO, building up its military capabilities, and executing special military operations (Wright, 8).

  • Comparison Of J. A. Hobson's Imperialism On China

    1062 Words  | 3 Pages

    China would like to think of themselves as living in a microcosm. Foreigners are almost inferiors to China because each culture is so different that any influence foreigners would encourage to Chinese men would only be observed rather than accepted. Persistent Westerners hardly made any influence on China. Two different views upon Western impact on China were compared between J.A. Hobson’s Imperialism and Mike Davis’s Late Victorian Holocaust. Hobson’s coverage on China was a perspective written a century earlier than Davis’s coverage. The comparison of China on different timelines can explain the progress China has made, although between the two coverages, China was still adamant in preserving their culture and traditions.

  • Essay On The Korean War

    2964 Words  | 6 Pages

    A few years before the conflict in Korea, US President Truman set forth an international policy known as the Truman Doctrine. The Truman Doctrine stated that the United States would aid countries that were fighting communist takeover. Combined with the ideological differences between the US and the USSR, the Soviet Union’s development of an atomic bomb pushed tensions past the breaking point, moving both countries into an arms race during which each attempted to amass more weapons than the other nation. Around the same time, over in Asia, the Communist Party banished Chinese Nationalists, the local democratic party, and began taking hold under Mao Zedong. This sparked fear within the Americans, for China was a large, influential country in Asia; Americans began to believe that China’s communistic society would influence its smaller surrounding countries to adopt communism as well. That series of events, along with the perceived threat of communism spreading, led to a tim...

  • Relations Between China and Taiwan

    1814 Words  | 4 Pages

    The United States has committed to defend Taiwan if attacked by China in the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, in which the US President Carter officially began diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China and gave token recognition to their “One China Policy” and its agenda of reunification. Instead of maintaining a significant deployable military force in the region, the United States has sold billions of dollars worth of arms to Taiwan, from small arms, to ships, fighter aircraft, and patriot missiles. Despite the arms sales to Taiwan and vows to defend it if attacked, the United States also has significant economic ties to both China and Taiwan. Since then, it has been trying to maintain the “status quo” of the current situation. Given these sets of circumstances, China, Taiwan and the United States have much to gain and even more to lose if an armed conflict erupts in the Taiwan Strait.

  • The Threat of China

    784 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the race to be the best, China is clearly outperforming the United States. China has strong economic fundamentals¬ such as “a high savings rate, huge labor pool, and powerful work ethic” (Rachman, Gideon. "Think Again: American Decline). Their economy has grown an astonishing 9-10% over the past thirty years; almost double of what it used to be decades ago. China is also the “world’s greatest manufacturer and its greatest market” (Rachman). The continuing growth of China's economy is a source of concern for not only the U.S. but surrounding nations as well. One could argue that the U.S. need not worry about China’s growth because of the spread of globalization and that western ideologies would influence China to turn to democracy. Yet China has still managed to “incorporate censorship and one party rule with continuing economic success” (Rachman) and remains a communist country. Hypothetically, even if China does resort to a democratic state, this does not gua...
