Comments on Josh Frydenberg “Washington is integral to our region”, 21/09/2010, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/washington-is-integral-to-our-region/story-e6frg6ux-1225926937881
Similar to the concepts of positive versus normative economics, perhaps there could be similar concept in politics and international relations.
If borrowing those concepts, it appears that Josh Frydenberg has some considerable inconsistency in his argument.
On the one hand, he is saying values and similarities and differences, as well as the superior power of the US.
On the other he is arguing that potential problems for China with its projected rise, such as property bubbles, and so on.
One is left bewildered: does Frydenberg believe power politics and its implications for international relations, or does he believe value system?
Hypothetically, what will Frydenberg do should China one day become more powerful than the US?
It is likely to be an interesting test for Frydenberg!
