2NC/1NR Solvency #1—Diplomacy Fails



They say Diplomacy solves military conflict, but

[GIVE :05 SUMMARY OF OPPONENT’S SINGLE ARGUMENT]



  1. Extend our Li and Yanzhuo evidence.

[PUT IN YOUR AUTHOR’S NAME]

It’s much better than their Mendis and Wang evidence because: [PUT IN THEIR AUTHOR’S NAME]

[CIRCLE ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS]:

(it’s newer) (the author is more qualified) (it has more facts)

(their evidence is not logical/contradicts itself) (history proves it to be true)

(their evidence has no facts) (Their author is biased) (it takes into account their argument)

( ) (their evidence supports our argument)

[WRITE IN YOUR OWN!]


[EXPLAIN HOW YOUR OPTION IS TRUE BELOW]

Their evidence can claim to change things and really fix conflict in the South China Seas, but all historical information disagrees. The US has made hundreds of diplomatic attempts and China has only expanded. There is no reason it will change now.

[EXPLAIN WHY YOUR OPTION MATTERS BELOW]



This matters because: if the Aff can’t solve at all, then there’s no point in trying. The military will expand and their war will happen no matter what.

  1. Military cooperation and economic engagement are distinct—straight from Xi’s mouth



Financial Times, June 2016 [Major academic news outlet focused on the economy, “Xi Jinping warns on limits to diplomacy as China-US talks begin”, June 6, http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/5f66b2d2-2b7e-11e6-bf8d-26294ad519fc.html#axzz4BQ2c9lDG]
From the contested waters of the South China Sea to the management of the global economy and stewardship of the environment, it is ever more evident that the world’s two great powers, the US and China, must find ways to resolve their differences. But as his government gathered for a final cabinet-level meeting with the Obama administration, Chinese president Xi Jinping offered a sober assessment of the room for compromise, and the limits of diplomacy. “Some differences can be solved through hard work,” Mr Xi said at the annual Sino-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue. “Some differences cannot be solved at the moment,” he added. In particular, Mr Xi acknowledged the need for more communication between the two sides on economic matters, where they have routinely clashed over foreign exchange rates, industrial capacity and other irritants. “As the world’s largest developing country and largest developed country, we must increase our co-ordination on macroeconomic policy.” John Kerry, US secretary of state, noted the two sides’ previous agreements on climate change and emphasised that the US wanted to see a “peaceful resolution” to China’s various territorial disputes with its neighbours in the South and East China seas.

  1. The US and China already economically and diplomatically cooperate



The White House, 2015 [“FACT SHEET: U.S.-China Economic Relations”, https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/09/25/fact-sheet-us-china-economic-relations]
The United States and China recognize their shared interest in promoting a strong and open global economy, inclusive growth and sustainable development, and a stable international financial system, supported by the multilateral economic institutions founded at the end of World War II that have benefited the peoples of both nations. Both countries recognize and value the substantial contributions that the international financial institutions have made to global growth, higher incomes, the alleviation of poverty, and the maintenance of financial stability since their establishment. The rules-based international economic system has helped to propel China’s unprecedented economic growth over the past 35 years, lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. The United States has also benefited from the emergence of a global middle class that, by 2030, is projected to include more than 3 billion consumers in Asia alone. U.S. exports of goods and services supported approximately 12 million jobs in the United States in 2014. China has a strong stake in the maintenance and further strengthening and modernization of global financial institutions, and the United States welcomes China's growing contributions to financing development and infrastructure in Asia and beyond. The international financial architecture has evolved over time to meet the changing scale, scope, and diversity of challenges and to include new institutions as they incorporate its core principles of high standards and good governance. Both countries are committed to supporting this international architecture and welcome the greater role of the G-20 in global economic governance to ensure an inclusive, resilient, and constantly improving international economic architecture to meet challenges now and in the future. In light of China’s increased share of global economic activity and increased capacity, the United States welcomes China playing a more active role in and taking on due responsibility for the international financial architecture, as well as expanded bilateral cooperation to address global economic challenges.
