China International Relations in 2010: A Gloomy Look Ahead

By Stan

First off, the new year here in Beijing has started with a relatively nasty snowstorm (yesterday) and deep freeze (today/tomorrow). Since I don’t drive, I could care less about the traffic problems, but I suspect that there are a lot of grouchy people coming back to the office this morning.

Unfortunately, I fear that this unpleasant atmosphere is going to carry on throughout 2010. Things don’t look so cheery for China’s relationship with the U.S. and EU, and while I do not see anything dramatic occurring in the short term, there is also little to be enthusiastic about.

Note that I’m not referring to the general business climate, probable GDP numbers, etc. That’s another story. No, I’m talking about these important bilateral relationships - China’s interaction with other nations.

Why so glum?
