China Heg Good – US Alliances


Chinese assertiveness draws new countries into alliances with the US, increasing US leadership
Solomon and Hayashi 2010

(Jay Solomon and Yuka Hayashi, Asia News Correspondents, “As China Swaggers, Neighbors Embrace U.S”, Wall Street Journal, May 25, http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704026204575266333652277148.html)


China's growing confidence is also raising fears in Southeast Asia, and stimulating a new courtship of the U.S. Muslim-majority Malaysia has often had rocky relations with Washington in recent decades. Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad openly sought to challenge U.S. economic policies during the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Kuala Lumpur has regularly attacked U.S. foreign policy in the Islamic world. Under new Prime Minister Najib Razak, however, Malaysia has increasingly sought to reorient itself toward the U.S., Malaysian and U.S. officials say. The two sides have been discussing the possibility of Kuala Lumpur's sending a reconstruction team to Afghanistan, which would make Malaysia one of the few Muslim countries to deploy troops. And Mr. Razak's government just passed a draconian law regulating the export of dual-use technologies to countries such as Iran. U.S. officials have regularly complained that Malaysia has served as one of the primary conduits for military equipment entering Iran. Malaysian officials have said in interviews that its foreign policy shift has been driven, in part, by its desire to offset China's growing power. "We can't afford right now not to be on good terms with the U.S.," said a senior Malaysian official.

China Heg Good – US Leadership (Comparative)



Increasing Chinese power increases US leadership in Asia, Chinese dominance of Asia is impossible, and all of their evidence on this question is wrong.
Sutter 2007

(Robert Sutter, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, “Does China Seek to Dominate Asia and Reduce US influence as a Regional Power?”, Carnegie Debates, April 20, http://carnegieendowment.org/files/Sutter_paper.pdf)


China can’t dominate Asia; there are too many governments in Asia.” This response by a senior Chinese official to my question during an interview in Beijing last year reflects some of the realities of power in Asia that make Chinese ability to seriously challenge US leadership in Asia unlikely under foreseeable circumstances. The findings of my private discussions with Chinese and other Asian government officials about China’s rise and its implications for US leadership in Asia contradict much media and other public discourse in the United States and some parts of Asia that depict a rising and powerful China coming to the leading position in Asia at a time of US decline in the region. In contrast to these media and other commentaries, which focus on Chinese strengths and US weaknesses, government officials in Asia in private conversations and interviews show an equal awareness of Chinese weaknesses and US strengths in the region. They also are aware of how the many independent-minded governments in Asia “hedge” in reaction to China’s rise. These governments work quietly among themselves and with the United States to insure that their independence and freedom of action will not be negatively affected as China’s rises in prominence in the region. Such actions reinforce US leadership in Asia as China rises. US policy makers in the Congress and elsewhere can choose to adopt the one-sided view of those US media and other commentators who predict China’s dominance and US decline in Asia. US policy makers tended to do the same thing in the late 1970s when the United States was indeed weak and divided after the defeat in Vietnam and prevailing US media and other predictions said the rising power, the Soviet Union, would dominate Asia. The same kind of pattern prevailed in the late 1980s when respected US media and commentators said that Japan would dominate Asia as US influence in the region declined. Of course, those earlier predictions were dead wrong; they focused on the strengths of the rising powers, the USSR and Japan, and did not adequately consider their weaknesses; and they focused on the weaknesses of the United States and did not adequately consider its strengths. A more sensible path, in my view, is for US policy makers to listen carefully to the more balanced and carefully calibrated views of Asian government officials. While media, vocal non-government elites, and public opinion matter in some Asian countries, at the end of the day it is the government officials who make the foreign policy decisions. There are few failed states in Asia; most governments are strong and are expected by their constituents to lead.

China Heg Good - NK


China leadership good, prevents North Korea from using nuclear bombs
Christensen 6 (Thomas J., President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Fostering Stability or Creating a Monster? The Rise of China and U.S. Policy toward East Asia, 31(1) ) KGL
Rather than merely following the lead of others, China is championing some multilateral initiatives in the region and has sought to catalyze existing trends through economic diplomacy. One factor that might help secure China’s leading role in the ASEAN economies is the China-ASEAN free trade agreement (FTA), signed in 2001 and due to take effect in 2010.33 This FTA supplements agreements reached in multilateral forums such as the Asia Paciªc Economic and Cooperation forum (APEC), the Asian Development Bank, and the World Trade Organization (which China joined in 2001); and it promises to accelerate trade and investment between China and its southern neighbors. In 2003 China helped create and hosted the six-party talks on North Korean denuclearization and, in the fall of 2005, not only helped revive those talks but drafted the joint statement presented on September 19, 2005. That statement calls for the dismantling of North Korea’s nuclear weapons and weapons-related programs in exchange for security guarantees and energy assistance. In addition, it promises future U.S. consideration of both diplomatic normalization of relations with Pyongyang and the transfer of peaceful nuclear technologies to the North Koreans.34 China also has been advocating trilateral functional cooperative meetings with South Korea and Japan, including discussion of security issues.
