CHINA’S CHALLENGE OF THE AMERICAN PACIFIC SUPREMACY. DOOMED TO FAIL?
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
The last decades of the 20th Century have witnessed the appearance of Asian and Indic emergent powers that have put a huge challenge to the hegemonic leadership of the United States. Rapidly turned to be economic power-houses, these new emerging nations have, since then, experiencing great difficulties to being accepted as equal rivals of the great ‘hegemon’. The reasons for this are contradictory. In the case of India this deficit can be attributed to the incomplete process of modernization of India’s economy, the lack of a reliable net of transport infrastructures and the status of India’s army. In the case of China the lack of primacy may be credited to the confronting relationship with the United States and its allies in the region and a certain darkness in China’s intentions. The current arms race deflagrated by the situation in the Korean Peninsula and the acrimony about the sovereignty of the East and South China Sea Islands make clear two possibly outcomes: China is not perceived as a force of peace, regionally; and the Asian nations require the United States to follow a policy of active alliance, providing a defense shield for them, in case of attack from Beijing. China is appraised as a reliable ally and succeeds in grabbing the Asian nations to its sphere of influence.
