China has turned to adopting and adopting a more daring policy in defiance of Washington after decades of Chinese reluctance to announce this, as a result of those American provocations to China and concluding a series of American alliances and polarizations directed against China, which necessitated an evaluation of all dimensions of the Chinese vision to deal with those pressures. growing on them, as follows:
During the year 2020, China accelerated its measures to maximize Chinese power in the face of pressure from Washington, and also increased its movements in international organizations, such as the (World Health and Trade Organizations), in an effort to influence the structure of the global system.
China has also repurposed existing international cooperation mechanisms, such as the “Belt and Road Initiative”, to suit the pandemic and turn technology into a central issue in international relations.
China has also intensified its diplomatic communication with its neighboring countries, such as Japan, South Korea and ASEAN countries. In addition, it signed a major free investment agreement with the European Union.
In conjunction with US pressure against China, Beijing has shown greater self-confidence in the face of outside criticism regarding its confidently tough handling of human rights issues in Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and Tibet, its violation of Taiwan sovereignty, and its practices in the South China Sea.
These policies make clear that China’s hard-line practices may imply the leadership’s desire to do them only in order to announce that Beijing has the ability to do so, to challenge the West, and to assert its power. But this hard position may have caused criticism of the Chinese government, and “Shi Yinhong”, a professor of international relations at Renmin University in China, says, analyzing the shape of the current relationship between Washington and China, through:
“Just because China is able to take countermeasures doesn’t mean it should always do so”
Given this complex equation, it can be concluded that there are no longer incentives for President “Xi Jinping” to change Washington’s behavior towards China, given the Chinese conviction that “the United States does not want to ease the confrontation”.
However, there is a weakness that the Communist Party of China “CPC” leaders may exploit in Washington’s adoption of more moderate policies, which is “international pluralism”. At a time when the prospects for improving relations due to communication at the bilateral level seem complex, here it seems the best option for China is (forming strong alliances with a sufficient number of countries, which enables it to build a counter-alliance in the face of Biden’s tendency towards leading the international system).
The policies of American alliances carry with it (the risk of escalating nationalism in China), especially amid the assertion of Chinese officials in all Chinese media about (Washington’s endeavor to rebuild alliances as a step directed against China’s security and interests), to force the Chinese to make important concessions on The long term of the American side, which is rejected by China.
The final analysis here, is remaining for the Egyptian researcher, which is that perhaps after the Corona pandemic, and “the world officially entered the second Cold War, and this time between the West and China”. Here, we find that despite these increasing American pressures on China through the policy of American alliances and polarizations directed primarily to China, there are “multiple factors that actually suggest the difficulty of dismantling the United States and the West of China, in the way that it succeeded in its work with the Soviet Union”, but with continued attempts to obstruct and besiege Chinese influence by imposing sharp global polarization with many slogans, such as: democracy in the face of authoritarianism and communism or with or against liberal human values.
The world may now witness the transformation into something like a (new tri-polar cold war), i.e. between the United States of America, China and Russia, especially with the succession and continuation of the features of the American confrontational approach towards both Russia and China over their areas of influence and presence in the world.
