Communicative Engagement: Kennedy




Exact Plan Text: The United States federal government should substantially increase its communicative engagement with the People’s Republic of China


Advantages/Harms (with explanation): After the November election, Anti-China rhetoric is at an all time high. Current attitudes toward China are marked by vilification of the other.Strategic engagement forces neoliberalism on China and leads to colonial violence and war.

Solvency Mechanisms:

Moving from a strategic model of diplomacy to a communicative model fosters understanding between nations and prevents war.

Currency Swap: Ogden




Exact Plan Text:

The United States Executive Branch should open a bilateral currency swap line with the People’s Republic of China



Advantages/Harms (with explanation):

Yuan devaluation is rapidly increasing now despite the Chinese banks intention to keep the currency stable – market confidence in the Yuan is declining because of worries it will spiral out of control


 First time in 5 years Yuan level was 6.7 to the dollar; workers were able to keep it at 6.6990 until they got off of work

 Yuan has lost 3% of its value this year despite the gov’t wanting it to be stable

 Lack of confidence in the Yuan has added to a slowing economy

Despite the grim outlook, the Yuan is not fully devaluating now – the PBoC is trying to stabilize the market driven decrease in the value of the Yuan


 Yuan is deprecating n not devaluaing

 If the government causes the value to decrease then it will de devaluation

 In 2015 the PBoC held up the value of the Yuan, but saw a record fall of $507 billion depreciation not devaluation

Current central bank policies to stabilize international markets fail now because of a global liquidity trap – this means available assets are shrinking and attempts to lower the interest rates are producing negatives

Specifically, China is falling into a liquidity trap now – haven’t been able to spur corporate investment in their economy through fiscal policy

And, further large-scale Yuan devaluation is catastrophic for global markets and the economy – causes currency wars and influx on U.S markets that collapses trade

Chinese Yuan devaluation spills over and starts a mass global currency war – other nations quickly respond by devaluing their currency

Chinese economic collapse and market failure is the centerpiece to maintaining global economic stability

Economic decline causes global nuclear war

Economic decline triggers lashout and global war – economic institutions won't check and only the aff prevented 2008 from escalating



And, economic interdependence won’t stop countries from escalating – leaders are willing to take risks and empirics disprove their impact defense

Any IMF policy action is insufficient – countries won’t trust their bailouts because of the conditional aspect

The Federal Reserve can’t resort to its post 2008 policies – quantitative easing would push rates into negative territory



Solvency Mechanisms:

A U.S-China currency swap increases dollar liquidity in China, which allows them to continue their transition to a market-based economy and stops devaluation

The plan increases dollar liquidity to stabilize financial markets – solves Yuan devaluation and paves the way for constructive engagement on other issues

The aff is a way to increase economic cooperation with China by increasing dollar liquidity and stabilizing their financial market
