Ramses Amer compares the diplomatic views and policies of the U.S. with those of China to shed light on the future their interaction. Wide differences exist in their justification for the use of force in inter-state relations; an unlikely but cooperative solution would be for the U.S. to conform more to the UN Charter and principle of non-interference, as China has.

Both the responses the next U.S. Defense Secretary gave to the Senate Armed Services Committee and the latest U.S. National Security Strategy adopt a benign tone regarding China. These documents generally affirm a desire to improve overall relations and continue China-U.S. defense exchanges even while seeking greater Chinese military transparency and the peaceful resolution of China’s maritime claims in the Pacific.

Though the North Korean missile launch was heavily condemned by much of the international community—with the United States calling it “provocative” and a breach of U.N. rules—and even China expressing “deep concern,” diplomatic or economic action against North Korean is unlikely.

Huawei’s debacle with US Congress raises troubling questions at many levels. Based on hypotheticals and a basic misunderstanding of China’s business environment, Huawei will pay a heavy price for a colossal failure to communicate across the two cultures.
