The US is one of these and to stay in power as a world power, you must be able to co-operate with other world powers. Evidence that China is fast becoming a world power can be found in the fact that China employed 12 million new workers last year, compared to 8 million new ones in 2002. Another example comes from here and I quote, "in September 2004, China sent a“special police” contingent to Haiti — one of Taiwan’s official relationships —marking Beijing’s first deployment of forces ever in the Western Hemisphere. " This is alarming because it shows just how strong and bold China is getting. If the US is able to cooperate with this new world power, we will have earned a useful ally. If not, then our power is going to go the way of the British. ||

One of the reasons for a close U.S. and China relationship is the amount of trade between the two countries. China would want to have close economic ties with the U.S. because the U.S. is one of China’s largest trade members, with over 302 billion dollars of trade in 2007. U.S. imports from China have gradually increased by 10 to 20% in the past ten years. The U.S. would want to have close ties with China because of the same reason, trade. Chinese and US are economies linked, so if one goes down, so does the other. As you can see, the United States and China should keep close economic ties for many reasons. ||
