  • China Environmental Policies Development and Trends for the Year 2018 Ralph Winnie, Director of the Eurasian Business Coalition's China Program
    China environmental policies development and trends for the year 2018 Ralph Winnie, Director of the Eurasian Business Coalition's China Program Introduction In recent decades, China has seen unparalleled economic growth. Most of the developed countries like Britain, the United States and Japan have all gone through periods of enormously rapid industrial growth. Many of them encountered the problem of pollution and had to develop measures to solve those issues and clean up the aftermath. China is going through an industrial revolution of its own, which is on the one hand happening in more compressed time frames than other great powers in the history, but at the same time, it also got pollution on a scale that has never been seen before. Over the past 30 years China has been favoring creating economic growth over environmental protection. The parties became somehow fixated on producing ever higher economic growth. As a result of the breakneck industrialization and urbanization, with average GDP growth of 10 percent each year for more than a decade, China is now suffering from air pollution, desertification, loss of biodiversity, and water pollution. Hazardous levels of water and air pollutants have become a daily phenomenon in the lives of the Chinese people. Nowadays China is the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, having overtaken the United States in 2007, and was responsible for almost 30 per cent of world emissions in 2017. According to the United Nations report, in 2013 life expectancy north of the Huai River was 5.5 years lower than in the south due to air pollution (life expectancy in China is 75.3 years).

  • Strategic Dilemmas, Clashing Identities, and Free Trade
    CHINA- KOREA RELATIONS STRATEGIC DILEMMAS, CLASHING IDENTITIES, AND FREE TRADE SCOTT SNYDER, COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS SEE-WON BYUN, SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY PRC State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s November visit to Seoul produced limited substantive results while signaling Beijing’s deeper strategic intentions toward the United States’ Asian allies. China’s commemorations of the Korean War’s 70th anniversary in October provided reassurances to North Korea while triggering a war of words with South Koreans, ranging from the foreign ministry to the K-pop group BTS. On social media, the history controversy was a prelude to wider cultural clashes on a host of issues. While the repercussions of COVID-19 and US-China trade tensions challenge China and South Korea’s economic agenda, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership’s signing in November raised prospects for regional multilateralism. Meanwhile, North Korea’s self-imposed quarantine resulted in a precipitous drop in North Korean imports from China according to China’s official trade statistics. UN Panel of Experts-led monitoring of North Korean off-the-books exports of coal and sand to China drew harsh US criticisms and catalyzed the announcement of a US Treasury- administered rewards program for reporting on primarily Chinese entities engaged in illicit trade with North Korea. Coupled with the incoming Biden administration’s envisioned regional architecture and the campaign’s declared reliance on multilateral approaches to North Korea, Asia’s multilateral initiatives may heighten Seoul’s US-China dilemma. This article is extracted from Comparative Connections: A Triannual E-Journal of Bilateral Relations in the Indo-Pacific, Vol.
