Part I.
1. The standing committee of the politburo is the Communist People's of China's leading committee of
in the Central government. It is consisted of five to nine members, and currently stands at seven. The
committee organization is a hierarchical, ranking from the head of the state General Secretary, Premier,
Chairman, Chairman of Central Political Conference, Central Commissionaire, and secretary of
disciplinary inspections. They are responsible for the discussions and decisions of policies when the
general assembly or “Central Committee of the Communist Party” is not currently in secession. As well
as the enforcement of laws, foreign diplomatic matters, government corruption and investigation,
military commissions, and affairs relating to the official state. They are an important organization
because they are both the heads of the party and government. Xi Jingping, the current General
Secretary, holds both the party executive chair and the gun to the state, and is regarded as one of the
most powerful men in all of Communist Chinese history. He is a prime example of the fluctuation of
the party and state, as now he is the official “ruler”, a position that used to belong to the Chairman. But
now he is developing more bodies in the party, the defense ministry, and the reformation ministry, both
of which the General Secretary is the leader of. From the looks of his legacy, the power of the Standing
Committee is going to flux more towards the head of the state and less of a elite council.

2.The National People's congress is important because it holds one of the largest unicameral national
legislative parliaments in the world. Theoretically, they are the largest governing body in control of the
central government of China, but with how Xi Jingping and the Executive branch/Communist Party has
been operating, it seems to changing. They are a tight knit organization that often follows orders from
the head of the party once inside during assembly, and they meet once every spring every five years.
Often the short periods that they come together are to elect major officers, pass legislation, and oversee
the grand scale operations of the party's whims. But these Party and legislative ultimate motives for the
state are kept in tight secrecy thanks to the CCP NAPSS organization, and are a major concern to the
United States government, as we still have no current plan on what China is adapting for.

3. China's Grand Strategy is a controversial collection of conspiracies, hypothesis based on previous


government practices, political theories, and reactions based on the current actions of the American
government. Currently, it is important to American and Chinese national security, and overall general
welfare of the current world order that China is to follow its current status quo of peaceful
development. Peaceful development is the strategy for China's economy to ride off of the American
dominated market. China wishes to begin an eventual bi-polar global power organization that focuses
on mutual economic and military benefits, diplomatic solutions to international conflicts, local national
representation of nearby border nations, and overall prosperity for her own country. This might not be
as it seems however, as history has shown that with the rise of a new power comes conflict, and China
is in no current state to take on the full front of the United States military. In the future they might be
able to however, and this will prove to be a grave threat to the livelihood of the US and her current
supreme global power. With the single party system, heavily censored media, human rights violations,
consumption of foreign resources and economies, and polluted environment might spell doom for what
the United States has been working for in terms of liberty and justice.

Part II.
3. The current United States rational for the concern of a rising China is a response to their “Peaceful
Development”. In that, we are “Peacefully Containing” China within the pacific area, by setting up a
key ring of military and economic alliances with Pacific Island states like Japan, Philippines, Taiwan,
and other continental allies like India and Korea. These alliances will slow down the development of
China because we are taking advantage of previous grievances held by these nations towards China in
hopes that it can hinder their foreign investment, or possibly have them pose as a military threat to
China. As well as set up borders and naval blockades against a growing Chinese military reform. We
also wish to further ties with China by mutually assisting each other economically by investing in
industrial, scientific, and medical fields for our benefits.

In my opinion, this string of loosely formed economic pacts with China are being of lesser value, while
it may seem good to have a large influx of goods coming into the US from China, our own economy is
being hindered while China continues to grow with recent acquisitions of foreign oil in the middle east
and natural resources from Africa. We are in desperate need to form more military presence in pacific
ocean if we are to secure the resources there for ourselves and our allies. Just recently, China has been
going on a campaign of military reforms, and establishing oil platforms in disputed Filipino seas and
military bases in the south pacific. These acts of aggression cannot be tolerated and we must seek
action by deploying more troops to Japan and Korea, setting up a defensive pact with India against
China and her ally Pakistan, develop our own off shore military airfields, and begin more investments
in cheaper alternatives for the military.
For the wall is breaking in the pacific, and China is going to pose a threat to the safety of frigates of
Japan and Korea if they build more airfields and increase their coastal borders. So naturally we need to
call for our allies for help since we're facing military spending issues, as China is going to eventually
surpass us in that field, we need to take advantage of our drone programs and use them as a counter
measure to the cheaper and more unorganized PLA.

In addition to a pact against China, we are going to need to develop a lesser need for Chinese goods. I
however find that with the addition of three dimensional printing and specialization crowd-funding
organizations surging in the US, and the fact of how China is facing many current pollution and human
rights issues in her borders. The current Darwinist economy might actually take a spin in our favor and
hinder Chinese development. As cheaper goods can be easily made here in the US, research is finding
new alternatives around the Chinese monopoly of precious metals like new cell phone batteries and
software, and testaments like the President of Zimbia Micheal Sata testifying against the Chinese for
the decimation of their native lands. It would seem that China is in need to change her game in
international economic affairs, and try for a mutual benefit instead of focusing solely on profit.
Otherwise the Unites States will continue to stay number one in foreign investment and growth.

As it stands, we are in desperate need of military adaption to the threat of China and her rising presence
in the Pacific, and possibly the entire Asian theater. The Obama administration has been taking steps in
setting up pacts with India and assisting in the military reform of Japan, increasing marine deployment
in Australian waters, and continuing in helping Korea against her northern enemy by giving drone
technology and military training. It would seem that urgent matters are going to be need to be taken in
stopping China from stealing southern oil drill sites and ask for UN intervention, since we are trying to
have a multinational front against China by using sanctions, but if they can fully support themselves
and increase the number of allies against us, then it won't make any sort of difference. But, with a
increased military presence near China's front door. If there were a second cold war, then America
would have the advantage economically and militarily as we are right next to them and have more
allies than they do. I hope that it does not come to this sort of conclusion, but since China's “peaceful
development” has been growing colossally. There seems to be worry that China isn't going to be
peaceful anymore, and I hope that the next president is to take a more firmer stance against China and
help Americans develop our own economy, and ask our allies to keep China in check.
