USA++China+Relationship+4

=USA and CHINA:FRIEND or FOE= By: Haroon Sangar and Chris Martin One of the major benefits of a strong United States alliance with China is that China’s trade has greatly benefited the United States. The United States has traded with China ever since China’s entrance to the World Trade Organization. China’s economy has grown by about 10% during the last 20 years. United State’s manufacturers, farmers, and service providers have seen exports to China grow over the years. Consumers of all types enjoy access to China’s large supply of high quality, well priced goods. Many trading issues have been solved through conversations between Washington and Beijing. China is installing a process that will help eliminate pirated DVDs and CDs. Computer manufacturers are installing legal operating system software before computers leave the factories. Also, the two nations are working on a Doha Round. A Doha Round’s purpose is to limit trade barriers. These and many other steps that were taken show that the United States and China can work together. China and the United States have organized a plan to cut pollution. As you know, China is the number one producer of air pollution. The China-US Energy Efficiency Alliance is an organization that is helping to produce cleaner and more efficient fuels in China. The alliance helps China build large scale energy efficient programs. This alliance can help increase energy supplies in an economically friendly way. There are some things that are keeping the alliance apart. The Sudanese army has waged war across Darfur. Sudan’s main ally is none other than China. China has consistently blocked the U.N. efforts to class the Sudan’s act as genocide. China has also blocked the U.N. efforts to put a peacekeeping force into Sudan. You may ask why this country has denied obvious crimes. It is because Sudan is China’s leading oil producer. Although the U.S. and U.N. wish to stop the genocides, China has blocked progress because of its demand for oil. Is this country one the United States would like as an Ally.
