You can also mention how the US relies on China as one of the only states which can negotiate with N.Korea re: its nuclear weapons program and part of its power comes from that, or something (I read it somewhere but I can't remember exactly what it said ... I promise I'm not making it up :P)


yep. Perfect example. As a bonus it can also be used as an example of a limit to US unilateralism!

Sure am!

A quick tip though - Don't just discuss China-Taiwan in your essay. You will not receive top marks if do. The assessors don't want people just talking about that relationship, they want other case studies, examples and such.

The essay is about China - not China-Taiwan. ;-)

...unification is not China's sole national interest!

I know :( my whole class thought we only had to talk about China-Taiwan because that's the only stuff we'd learnt .... then in our 2nd last lesson EVER my teacher goes to us, oh btw, you do realise that the One China policy is only a part of China's objectives, you gotta talk about the other parts too ... and we were like :shock: what other parts?!?!

So yeah :( now I have to learn all this new stuff cos my teacher is forgetful. Grr.

Hey can anyone give me advice on when to do the essay?? I know this is completely different but for legal last yr i did about half the questions then went to the big question and then went back and did the other questions. I had enough time then. But with this one i really don't know what to do...

i will be doing it last so that i can get the short answer done quickly, hopefully leaving me enough extra time to write a solid essay. whatever you do make sure you give it 40mins to complete.

Yeah, me too. Otherwise I find that I waste too much time going into too much detail (I love the APR AOS too much lol) and then have no time for the short answer (esp definitions & definition-based qs like what are the root causes of terrorism etc which are easy marks)

But ultimately it's up to you and how you function best. Good luck :)

Hooray for International Studies.

I've lost all motivation to study...maybe if the exam was a little earlier.

Ah well,

Good luck to all doing it tomorrow. :)
