President Biden has enlisted a dozen Asia-Pacific nations to join a new loosely defined economic bloc meant to counter China’s dominance and reassert American influence in the region five years after his predecessor withdrew the United States from a sweeping trade accord that it had negotiated itself. The alliance will bring the United States together with such regional powerhouses as Japan, South Korea and India to establish new rules of commerce in the fastest-growing part of the world and offer an alternative to Beijing’s leadership. But wary of liberal opposition at home, Mr. Biden’s new partnership will avoid the market access provisions of traditional trade deals, raising questions about how meaningful it will be. “We’re writing the new rules for the 21st-century economy,” Mr. Biden said on Monday in Tokyo during the launch for what he has termed the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework. “We’re going to help all of our country’s economies grow faster and fairer.” Fuente: |

For decades, the mainstream of both the Democratic and Republican parties favored expanding trade between the U.S. and other countries. Greater globalization, these politicians promised, would increase economic growth — and with the bounty from that growth, the country could compensate any workers who suffered from increased trade. But it didn’t work out that way. Instead, trade has contributed to the stagnation of living standards for millions of working-class Americans, by shrinking the number of good-paying, blue-collar jobs here. The incomes of workers without a bachelor’s degree have grown only slowly over the past few decades. Many measures of well-being — even life expectancy — have declined in recent years. All along, many politicians and experts continued to insist that trade was expanding the economic pie. And they were often right. But struggling workers understandably viewed those claims as either false or irrelevant, and they refused to support further expansions of trade. Fuente: |

China y la RCEP: el nuevo centro del comercio mundial
|
Resumen: China utilizará la Asociación Económica Integral Regional (RCEP por sus siglas en inglés) para consolidar su hegemonía en Asia-Pacífico. Este triunfo del regionalismo en Asia es un signo del cambio en la correlación de fuerzas en el sistema internacional; el multilateralismo occidental, impulsado por Estados Unidos, continúa en crisis y no muestra señales de recuperación. El centro del comercio mundial en la postpandemia está en los países de la RCEP con un liderazgo indiscutible del Gigante asiático. |

China: De la promesa de la energía renovable a la discordia energética
|
Resumen: Las energías renovables han sido un tema recurrente en los proyectos nacionales de energía alrededor del mundo por su importancia para reducir las emisiones de carbono y transitar hacia una generación de energía que tenga el menor impacto posible para el medio ambiente. Por lo tanto, es importante que una superpotencia emergente, como lo es la República Popular China, por su importancia en el mundo, así como otras potencias, tengan y refuercen su énfasis en la producción de energía a través de fuentes que son renovables. En un contexto tan agresivo e incierto como el actual (marzo del 2022), los productos energéticos se han vuelto un instrumento de guerra como de paz. |
