Humans Rights and Ideological Differences

Humans rights is a problem being discussed in all parts of the globe with people having
different opinions depending on their standpoints. The US have criticized China’s treatment
of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang, prodemocracy activists in Hong Kong and restriction of civil
liberties in Tibet. These concerns led to legislative actions of US Congress, which China
views as an interference of their internal affairs. Likewise, ideological differences such
as varying views on democracy, freedom of speech, and governance, have further fueled
tensions between the two nations.

Climate Change and Global Issues

Despite the differences listed above, there still exists some areas of cooperation between
the US and China. Both of these countries are considered as main contributors to climate
change, a problem widely being discussed today. In order to reach climate goals, it is
necessary that these two nations try to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Fortunately, they
jointly announced their will to combat climate change during the 2021 Leaders Summit on
Climate. This shows that areas of common interest can contribute to these two countries
being united.

Conclusion

As the world keeps developing, finding such ways to lessen the disagreements and discover
agreements can become a crucial factor in dealing with international problems. Balancing
competition and cooperation, managing areas of dispute, and engaging in principled
diplomacy will be pivotal for gaining stability in worldwide peace. The diplomatic relationship
between the US and China will remain as a vital aspect of international affairs, requiring
constant adaptability to confront a never-ending stream of challenges.
