  1. Extend our Brookings evidence.

[PUT IN YOUR AUTHOR’S NAME]

It’s much better than their Global Ethics Network 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)

(More realistic) (their evidence supports our argument)

[WRITE IN YOUR OWN!]


[EXPLAIN HOW YOUR OPTION IS TRUE BELOW]

Our Brookings evidence talks about how China will use US diplomatic and economic ties to hurt Taiwan. It will use that relationship as blackmail so the US won’t protect Taiwan. Also, Taiwan will fear that the US will not protect it and build up its military. It’s unrealistic to argue that cooperation between your largest ally and largest enemy would not make Taiwan uneasy.

[EXPLAIN WHY YOUR OPTION MATTERS BELOW]



This matters because: if we win the link, then we also access the impact. The large war scenario would be horrible and outweigh the aff.

2NC/1NR AT #5—No Brink



They say there’s no brink because the US and China meet all the time, but

  1. Extend our Brookings evidence.

[PUT IN YOUR AUTHOR’S NAME]

It’s much better than their Analytic 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 supports our argument)

[WRITE IN YOUR OWN!]


[EXPLAIN HOW YOUR OPTION IS TRUE BELOW]

While the US and China meet all the time, they don’t usually come to an agreement. The plan is especially a large agreement bringing the US and China closer than ever as shown by the 1ac. This means that Taiwan and China would react more strongly than previous lunch meetings.
[EXPLAIN WHY YOUR OPTION MATTERS BELOW]

This matters because: we have won the direction of link. They cause a China-Taiwan freak out that results in conflict and war.

  1. Taiwan must keep the US close diplomatically otherwise China will attack



Brookings Institution, 2010 [International affairs journal, “China’s Growing Strength, Taiwan's Diminishing Options”, November, http://www.brookings.edu/research/papers/2010/11/china-taiwan-wang]
Implications for Taiwan-U.S. relations Recently, China has struck a more assertive tone in its foreign policy. The call to replace the dollar as the international reserve currency, Chinese resistance to a tougher climate change accord in Copenhagen, the reassertion of Chinese sovereignty in the South China Sea, and the hardball tactics against Japan in the East China Sea are all indications of an increasingly assertive China on the world stage. China had kept a low profile when it needed a stable international environment to accumulate economic and military power. Now, with the world's second largest economy and increased military capabilities, China is in a better position to pursue its foreign policy interests. China’s growing military, economic, and political capabilities make it ever more important for Taiwan to strengthen its relations with the United States. As the weaker power in cross-Strait relations, it makes good strategic sense for Taiwan to have the support of Washington in case Beijing changes its intentions. In truth, Taiwan cannot rest its security on the goodwill of China. Taiwan needs allies. To deter China and to preserve Taiwan’s political autonomy and survival, Taiwan must strengthen its self-defense capabilities. In the midst of cross-Strait dialogues, Taiwan should negotiate from a position of strength rather than from a position of weakness. With strengthened defense capabilities, Taiwan would more likely get favorable terms in cross-Strait negotiations and not be forced to accommodate Beijing’s demands. In early 2010, the Obama administration authorized a $6.4 billion arms sale to Taiwan. As the cross-Strait military balance continues to shift in Beijing's favor, the arms sale can help Taiwan beef up its defense and boost confidence on the island. There is still room for growth in Taiwan-U.S. military exchanges and defense cooperation. Building strong military to military ties with the United States is the best hedge against a change in Chinese intentions in the future.
