Bipolar Word – U.S. and China Can Come Together

The world’s two top super powers can come together and lead a bipolar harmonious world. The escalating trade and military tensions between America and China, Cold War mentality walls and nationalistic fervor, both countries are displaying against each other is, very short sighted and destructive.

The fear being generated by the possibility of both countries slipping into Thucydides Trap is unnecessary war mongering by politically extremist dated politics. I have concerns about Thucydides Trap. A concern I raised in Custom Maid Revolution for New World Disorder, because again, according to U.S. government officials, China of course tops the list of security threat.

Mutual suspicion continues to hamstring China-U.S. relations, preventing the two from drawing closer. It behooves both to compromise for the good of the planet.

Time to get down to business.

A foundation of trust can and must be established.

Trade and investment negotiations can come up with a “fair trade” deal. In the meantime, there is no reason America and China can’t expedite their foreign policy and military cooperation, starting as bilateral-partners actively leading the North Korea Denuclearization and Reunification talks.

America and China must start to lead the bipolar world by first disentangling themselves from unfinished Old World Order political conundrums they created for themselves. North Korea topping the list.

The current joint U.S.-South Korean two-week military exercise that triggered North Korea’s firing of two cruise missiles from a submarine earlier this week –being the latest reminder.

Russia, Japan and South Korea, like China and America are opposed to the North Korean nuclear missile tests, have been humiliated and desperately want a solution they can jointly embrace with America and China. Kim Jung –un’s nuclear bluff must be called with a united front led by America and China.

North Korea borders economic powers China, Russia, South Korea and Japan is nearby across the Sea of Japan. The four economic superpowers can set up cooperative cross-border economic zones on their mutual borders, the kind Kim has visited and admired in China and is hopelessly and helplessly trying to emulate. America becomes the lead banker and organizes the financing.

Economic prosperity also would prevent a massive North Korea refugee exodus and ensuing crisis that China and Russia are concerned about, especially if American and European corporate citizens embrace the economic zones the same way they did in China. This would allow North Korea to finally sign a peace treaty and would clear the way for gradual reunification with the South. The cost of reunification, unlike the case in postwar Germany, would be shared by the five in the interest of all humanity.

The Panmunjom Peace Declaration committed the two Koreas “to actively pursue trilateral meetings with the U.S. and/or quadrilateral meetings with the U.S. and China, with a view to “turning the armistice into a peace treaty and establishing a permanent and solid peace regime.” The time is long overdue for America and China to take the lead to do just that.

America and China can find an honorable face-saving exit for Kim and Co. This is a negotiating tactic America has perfected with several dictators over the years, allowing them to live comfortably at home or in exile, or uncomfortably at home or in a grave.

Kim Jong-un should study the U.K. House of Windsor model for reunification and dynastic survival. He could become Korea’s George Washington and China’s Deng Xiaoping all wrapped into one.

America and China can come up with a mutual time table of three-to-five years to reunite the two Koreas.

We live in a New World Disorder that can only be stabilized and harmonized if the two top protagonists sit down and come together on how to lead a peaceful bipolar world.
