The November Edition of the UCR Statement Factsheet Is Out Now:
 “Finding Common Ground in the Spirit of Cooperation” |
|
|
As the international agenda was dominated by multilateral gatherings in November, the UCR Factsheet this month is colored by this cooperative focus. Both the U.S. and China continue to push greater collaboration among nations in the region and prominent issues for November include the U.S. promoting itself as a peace broker in East Asia, advancing the notion that its presence creates a stabilizing effect on relations, pursues greater support for the TPP, and a major breakthrough is made in climate change reduction as the U.S. and China make a joint declaration and commitment to reducing carbon emissions. China continues to focus on its right to sovereignty in territorial disputes and the situation in Hong Kong, goes tit-for-tat with the TPP by pressing forward on its Infrastructure Investment Bank and announces greater support for efforts to control the spread of Ebola. Cooperation is also met with some divergence, the U.S. presses for greater international action on human rights abuses in North Korea, while China argues for dialogue and no sanctions. The U.S. once again pursues Chinese cyber-theft and sabotage, in response, China continues to maintain its innocence. claiming that China too, is also a victim.
