On Balance, the Rise of China is beneficial to the interests of the United States

We"d like to start of with definitions The Rise of China is the process of China, changing from a developing country with industrial economies to a developed one with service oriented economies, especially in the last ten years. Interests of the US should be defined as the favorable conditions of the United States and their affairs, such as the economy, trade, and the quality of the life of US citizens. My partner and I would like to provide the following: OBSV 1-Even though our opponents might argue that China is doing well/has good army, The US still is the biggest superpower in the world. Foreign Policy Magazine States that China today simply does not have the military capability to challenge the United States in the Pacific, so my opponents cannot say that the US considers China as a threat. Standard- Since this topic contains the words, "on balance" we have to look at this topic at a net benefit scale based on benefiting the interests of you, judge and the Quality of Life of the United States citizens. With that said, we have a few main arguments Contention 1- China"s cheap manufacturing increases American quality of life These cheap products are benefiting many interests of the United States. According to Washington Post, the American people benefit from "Made in China" labels, which indicate high quality and favorable price and increase American families' disposable income. According to the Ohio State University, Manipulation of the current yuan value, which will benefit happen as China rises, can help keep the prices of China"s labor lower. It will be "able to ensure it stays artifi"cially low compared to the dollar, making Chinese goods cheaper for U. S. consumers. " In addition, according to Bloomberg Businessweek, rising imports from China decreases the price of non-durable goods by 2.8%. According to Resources for Entrepreneurs - Perhaps China's greatest competitive advantage and the catalyst for its growth is its cheap and highly skilled work force. The impact is clear. Americans have more purchasing power and will have a higher quality of life because of Chinese goods. This is clearly beneficial to you, judge, when you can afford to buy much more material goods because of China. With the rise of China, more of these affordable goods will be available, clearly benefiting US quality of life. Contention 2- America and it"s companies benefit due to the rise of China According to Washington Post, $218.9 billion were totaled as the revenue of US companies in China. Heritage. org states: the US gains much from the economic relationship. China was the third-largest buyer of our exports, a source of strength for our economy. In addition, China helps increase US companies competitiveness. If companies benefit with the rise of China, the US gains more economic relations, and the revenue grows increasing the economy of the United States and the Quality of Life of US citizens. Contention 3- Increase in US profits and trade The rise of China has helped increase trade with China and can lead to many benefits to the United States According to the Office of the United States trade representative U. S. goods and services trade with China totaled $539 billion in 2011, resulting in export profits of $129 billion. According to the Washington Post- Since the United States and China established diplomatic relations, bilateral trade volume has grown nearly 120-fold. U. S. direct investment in China has topped $63.1 billion According to World Policy, It is essential to remember that China"s rise strengthens America"s economy and future prosperity. Today, China is the largest growth market in the world for U. S. goods and services. Trade with China, has helped America"s recovery from the global financial crisis. The impact is clear- When China rises, the United States is obviously benefited. Trade with China has caused us to help the economy, and if we continue to trade with China as it rises, the US economy will be greatly strengthened.
