2NC/1NR Pressure CP Human Rights – AT: Perm Do Both

  1. The permutation still links to the net benefit. Extend our 1NC Singh evidence. When the U.S. engages China through bilateral negotiations, it seldom works, and the U.S. is left looking weak and unable to curtail China’s rise. This will lead to U.S. losing our global dominance.

  2. Here’s more evidence. China will not implement human rights reforms despite bilateral efforts. In fact, they will point out the hypocrisy of U.S. claims on human rights, further undermining our global credibility



Xinhua News Agency, 2014 April 14, “China issues report on U.S. human rights” http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2016-04/14/c_135278381.htm
China's report says that the United States made comments on the human rights situation in many countries while being tight-lipped about its own terrible human rights record and showing not a bit of intention to reflect on it. In 2015, the United States saw no improvement in its existent human rights issues, but reported numerous new problems, according to the report. "Since the U.S. government refuses to hold up a mirror to look at itself, it has to be done with other people's help," it says. The report states money politics and family politics went from bad to worse in the United States where voters found it hard to express their real volition. Figures cited in the report shows that civil rights were wantonly infringed upon in the United States in 2015 with rampant gun-related crimes and excessive use of force by police. There were a total of 51,675 gun violence incidents in the United States in 2015 as of December 28, leaving 13,136 killed and 26,493 injured. U.S. police shot dead 965 people last year as of December 24. No substantial progress concerning the economic and social rights of U.S. citizens were made, the report says. In 2015, more than 560,000 people nationwide were homeless, and there were still 33 million people in the United States with no healthcare insurance. It also quotes figures to show that the United States continued to trample on human rights in other countries, causing tremendous civilian casualties. From August 2014 to December 2015, the United States launched 3,965 air strikes in Iraq and 2,823 in Syria, causing an estimated number of civilian deaths between 1,695 and 2,239. The report says that the United States' overseas monitoring projects infringed on the privacy of citizens of other countries. The United States had bugged the phones of three French presidents and many other senior French officials, according to the report. Though the United States repeatedly vowed to defend "human rights," it still has not ratified core human rights conventions of the UN, and took an uncooperative attitude towards international human rights issues, says the report.

2NC/1NR- Pressure CP- Currency Manipulation- AT: Permutation do Both

  1. They say the plan and the counterplan are effectively the same. However, the plan and the counterplan are conceptually different. Engagement involves a quid pro quo, while the counterplan pressures China to reverse a current monetary policy without expecting anything in return. Hold the affirmative to this definition. Allowing engagement without expecting something in return limits negative ground since it prohibits us from reading CPs that do the opposite of engagement. Further, a quid pro quo interpretation limits the number of affirmatives that can be read on the topic, ensuring more in depth and educational discussions. Either the counterplan is competitive, or the affirmative is not topical. They cannot be both.



Kane, 2008 Major Brian H. Kane, USMC AY 2007-08 ,“FUTURE WAR PAPER Comprehensive Engagement: A Winning Strategy”, SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF OPERATIONAL STUDIES http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a504901.pdf
Engagement strategies are not new. Since the end of the Cold War, engagement strategy has been called “comprehensive containment, conditional containment, conditional engagement, limited engagement, quid pro quo engagement, congagement, unconditional engagement, and comprehensive engagement.”8 As a result, engagement strategy represents a “conceptual fog” in today’s environment.9 However, the Clinton Administration attempted to dissipate this fog with the first post-Cold War, multi-faceted definition proposed in its NSS, which stated that engagement strategy is:
