REVIEW : Competition between China and the United States in order to fight the hegemony of influence in some areas occur in every line of competition which fight for the strategic interests of both countries to secure their national interests, primarily related to energy security.Competition between them occurred in the field of politics and international relations, which is triggered by the U.S. foreign policy "Return to Asia" assessed to offset China's influence in Asia and to prevent China conducted military incursions into neighboring countries. It is then responded by China and its allies in order to create pivot Iran-China-Russia deal with the U.S. forces and its allies, Europe.
"Proxy war" has been going on between the two countries by claiming hacker attacks from each party. A US-based computer security firm, Mandiant issued a report on February 18, 2013, that a secret military unit based in Shanghai China was behind the hacker attack that hit a number of U.S. companies. Mandiant said the military units that have stolen hundreds of terabytes of data from a variety of U.S. industries. Meanwhile, China has denied being behind the hacker, claiming the U.S. is the source of hacker attacks that hit China.
Mandarin-language daily, Yindunixiya reported that Barack Obama stated, most of the cyber attacks against several U.S. companies sponsored by the Chinese. To that end, the U.S. Congress approved the urgent need to strengthen the security of the U.S. Internet network, but still guarantee the civil liberties. No doubt, the U.S. allegation has been made China "furious". Through the Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Hong Lei confirmed, crime in cyberspace is an international problem and should be resolved through multilateral cooperation based on mutual trust and respect.
Competition in economics shows China is more superiority compared to the U.S.. The U.S. International Trade Commission announced it would investigate the 3G and 4G products, production of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd, China, Zhongxin Telecom (ZTE) Co., Ltd. China, Korea's Samsung Group and Nokia Corporation, whether they infringe the patents of U.S. companies or not. Previously, in 2012 the U.S. had issued a warning against Huawei and ZTE over their suspicion about a surveillance device in the Chinese electronic products. Meanwhile, in London, England, UK Financial Times reported that the U.S. trade deficit against China is not the U.S. $ 176 billion, but the U.S.. $ 1,310 billion. This research will be able to weaken U.S. domestic voice, which refer to China as a "currency manipulator".
China's economic superiority when compared to the U.S. more visible when Chinese companies became Gwadar port strategic operator which located near the Strait of Hormuz, the busiest port for oil shipping lane since February 2013. China invested U.S. $ 250 million to take over the company's operations in order to achieve the advantage of reducing the cost of shipping goods from China to Middle East and Africa. However, China's move could also be interpreted as giving a warning to the U.S., that the main geopolitical China has shifted to the Asia Pacific region. At the same time, the U.S. increased its military strength in Singapore and Philippines. In New York, the U.S., the former Chief Economist of the World Bank, Yifu Lin said, China's economy could grow 8% per year over the next 20 years but China must do the reform.
Mandarin-language daily, Xingzhou Ribao reported in the period January to November 2012, China's direct investment abroad (mergers and acquisitions) in the non-financial sector reached U.S. $ 62.5 billion (up 25%), project contracts abroad amounting to U.S. $ 102.4 billion (up 18.7%) and the number of new contracts amounting to U.S. $ 128.8 billion (up 12.9%). Predictions from the World Bank shows that in 2020 China will be able to shift the U.S. position. If this pattern continues in 2050, China will become the new hegemonic state.
Competition between the two countries is also forcing them to continuously improve their military capabilities to minimize unexpected situations. In Beijing, China, official Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Qian Linhua said, the development of Russian cooperation, the U.S. and Europe made progress in maintaining international security, but the struggle resolve the South China Sea issue should benefit China. Qian Linhua asserted, Chinese defense ministry focus and prepare measures to strengthen their military strategy. Meanwhile, Chinese media, Renmin Ribao reported, U.S. President Barack Obama has signed an agreement with the defense budget for the sector valued at U.S. $ 633 billion, includes a clause about the Senkaku Islands / Diaoyu and the sale of F-16 C / D to Taiwan.
The development of global scenarios mainly influenced by the decline of U.S. hegemony factors that trigger the strategic competition between the U.S. and China. Deterioration of the U.S. hegemony characterized by the economic stagnation since 2008. The economic stagnation makes the U.S. budget and trade deficits getting larger, which weakens the position of the dollar as an international currency than the yuan. U.S. hegemony setback was followed by strategic competencies occurred between the U.S. and China, especially in the sectors of energy security. China maneuver for oil and gas from Africa, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia intersect with economic liberalization and political interests of the U.S. in the region.
One of the keys that China is stronger than the U.S. is due to embody "The China Dream", which became a symbol of Chinese ethnic resurrection . China-Hong Kong and Macao should work together and complement each other. China still considers Huaren and Huaqiao (overseas Chinese citizens) to be an important asset to pursue "The China Dream". The step is, all elements of Chinese everywhere are "one nation" through cultural nationalism. This is confirmed by Martin Jacques in his book "When China Rules The World".
China in applying the principles of cultural nationalism still think people outside Zhungguo (China) is a barbarian with the unenviable title as "Yangguizi or gweilo". Nevertheless, competition for influence hegemony would not drag them through the war.
