Human Rights And Trade In China
For the past several years, China has been developing its economy and resources extensively. In fact, it will soon be one of the world’s largest economies. It will truly be a force to be reckoned with. However, the United States and China have been disputing over the issues of human rights and trade. Obviously, the United States should make an effort to maintain an amicable relationship with this increasingly powerful nation. Piquing the leaders of China would defeat the purpose of the recent rendezvous between the leaders of both nations. More importantly, though, the positive effects will completely overwhelm the negative effects, if the United States aggressively forces its views regarding human rights and trade onto the leaders of China.
It is true, of course, that China has self-initiative to improve human rights; one example is the pro-democracy demonstrators in the now infamous Tienanmen Square in Beijing. But, with a more aggressive standpoint on human rights, the U.S. can prevent disasters like the massacre of the hundreRAB of innocuous demonstrators in that square. On June 4th, 1989, unsuspecting people gathered in Tienanmen Square, unaware of the machination the government had devised to cruelly murder them. Government soldiers then proceeded to kill them in cold blood. The incident was a tragedy for the victims, obviously, but it was also devastation to their democratic purpose. The Chinese government’s blatant disregard for any human rights have caused other Chinese people to shy away from starting their opinion, because they are fearful of being killed in the same way. Right now, China is rising to become one of the largest and most populous countries; therefore it would behoove the U.S. to make an effort to instill some respect for human rights into their government.
Undoubtably, U.S. dollars may be lost if the U.S. is overly aggressive, which would cause China to cease trade. Nevertheless, the United States will gain billions of dollars and will have a wider selection of gooRAB if a good trade relation is established. China currently is home to fully one-fourth of the world population, and it is still growing. Consequently, it neeRAB a vast nuraber of gooRAB to feed and clothe its citizens. Recently, China has made the decision to import more than 100 billion dollars in products. If the U.S. explicitly states: without primary trading privileges, we will not stay friendly towarRAB China, then it is very probable that China will give the U.S. the upper hand in their trade. With the right to import the majority of these gooRAB, the U.S. economy will get a huge boost. In addition, it would lower the trade deficit, 10 billion dollars, which is how much the United States owes China as of 1995.
Furthermore, the Chinese do not have basic freedoms in speech, religion, asserably, and the press. The people of China do no have even a scintilla of these rights that Americans take for granted, which causes them to be constantly circumspect. For example, publishers of newspapers must edit the whole newspaper for any statement even remotely anti-Communism. The consequence for printing acrimonious remarks about communism is losing of their job, and possibly even worse results ensue. Unfortunately, the Communist government is inexorable in their standpoint on these issues. The worst part is China might take over Taiwan, and force their constricting laws on the Taiwanese. The U.S. opposes the idea of China annexing Taiwan, for the same reason: the harsh laws in China. Consequently it is difficult for China and the United States to even begin to agree on the human rights issue.
Most important of all, changes in China will be by far easier to achieve with the death of Deng Xiaoping, the former leader of China; who was extremely old and conservative. The new leader, Jiang Zemin, albeit a Communist, is more willing to compromise. Suprisingly, He called Tienanmen Square “a mistake”. Apparently, it seems that if the United States is more obtrusive, he might eventually be persuaded to make some changes in human rights. In addition, the U.S. has been selling technology in automobiles and satellites to China. Zemin even visited the U.S. this month to see the products we will be selling to China. With all these factors, it is likely that with some persuasion by the United States, Zemin will bring reform to human rights. It is also likely that after seeing the advanced products we will be selling them, he will let the U.S. earn a substantial amount of money by transporting many gooRAB to China Consequently, it seems that the U.S. will achieve a better relationship with China in the future.
With a little help from the United States, it looks like China will change their policies on human rights and trade. There are so many people who will benefit from a change in China’s structure: the people of China who will be more liberated, the people of the U.S. from jobs created to make gooRAB to export, also the people of Taiwan, should they be assimilated into China. Overall, there are just so many good points to the U.S. actively encouraging China to rethink its human rights laws and trade issues, that it would be inane for the Unites States to stay passive. This is the opportunity for the U.S. to be salubrious to not only its own citizens, but also the citizens of other countries.
