Title Proper | One China principle may accelerate Sino-US rivalry for global hegemony! |
Language | ENG |
Author | Tripathi, Sudhanshu |
Summary / Abstract (Note) | The “One China Principle” proclaims that both Taiwan and mainland China are inalienable parts of a single “China”, whereof both governments claim to be the true and legitimate representatives. As both governments are striving for unification of both the territories, both uphold the One China policy, which asks that countries seeking diplomatic relations with the mainland People’s Republic of China must break off diplomatic relations with the Republic of China in Taiwan and vice versa. With the US President Donald Trump first questioning this principle and then retracting from his stated position vis-à-vis Beijing’s blunt and aggressive reaction, the consequent scenario may further push ahead the already declining American power and hegemony in the world and may also aggravate the ongoing Sino-US competitive race towards global hegemony. |
