What to do with China?

Question

The Open Door Policy signing in 1899 would trigger lots of trade between the US and China. Since then we have imported a multitude of items from China and it is a vital asset to our economy. China being a communist country, also has had a significant problem with human rights. Many people and groups have called for the democratization of China to ensure equality and be an example to other nations in the area. I believe that any huge governmental, political, or social change is very tough on a country's economy. So if China suddenly pursues the path to democracy rapidly wouldnt that, in turn, hurt the US economy? Everyone wants equal human rights, but would this bring greater good or would the complexity of the situation grow?

Answer 1

i think in the long term it would benefit everyone. but you are right to say major political transitions can cause problems. its not really possible to fully predict what will happen when china becomes a democracy but i think the foundations are being laid for it to happen. considering its increasing power i would much rather china was a democracy then a dictatership as it would make the world a safer place but a democratic china would in the long term have a more succesful economy then the usa.

Answer 2

It would probably be good for them chinese (not sure to what extent, as it would be bad in other ways). It would be bad for the US indeed, since it could lead to an increased consumption there and thus a more dinamic market. That could also be good for the US, who might expand some of it's own exportation markets. But most deffinately would lead to a war someday, just like nations with power like. Afterall, war is also an economy booster (sadly, that's probably a main reason for them to occur).

Answer 3
