China’s Fast Rise Leads Neighbors to Join Forces

With China's ever increasing economy as well as economic and military power, many of its neighbors are seeking to renegotiate or even form alliances with the nation. This is also considered by some to be a good opportunity for the United States to reestablish itself and further heighten its relations in Asia. President Obama has a visit planned for Asia very soon. The President's trip will consist of the skirting nations to the growing China as well as negotiations with the leader of India in reference to the possible sale of jet fighters. Many of China's neighbors believe that china will in fact replace the United States as the superpower, however many of these concerned countries are worried about how quickly this transition is occurring. It also seems to be a cause of concern about China's continuing over aggressive actions in trading relations. Relations between China and the United States are constantly becoming more hostile. How to deal with China has posed a problem to numerous other nations such as India and Korea. This possible shift in global power may throw the global economic system of balance and this situation must be dealt with extreme care.
