Biola

Biola’s main case. Military cooperation with China to patrol the South China Sea against pirates. Solvency is based off U.S. current cooperation to check piracy in the Gulf of Aden.

Plan: With the consent of Congress the President of the US will offer China a trade protection alliance for the purpose of maritime safety and security modeled after UN security council resolution 1851 with **__a promise to respect China's exclusive economic zone__** and participate in training exercise to these ends. (Why wouldn’t this “promise” freak out our regional allies?) Funding: Cuts to future nuke weapons program (this is open to change) Agent of Action: State Dept Enforcement: US trade rep and pentagon Timeframe: now

Ad1: Fights pirates
 * 1)  Harm: Pirates kill and cost $$
 * 2)  Solvency: Military force will fight and contain piracy. Navy will work. China has ships.
 * 3)  Impact: Economic boost. Trade security is key to economics. (They will use “trade security” as an answer to T on trade).

Ad2: Regional Stability
 * 1)  Harm: China and U.S. butt heads in the region. Make it risky for conflict.
 * 2) Solvency: Military cooperation decreases chances of accidental war.
 * 3) Impacts: Increases peace, stability, and cooperation on natural disasters.

Biola’s old case: Sanction China until they repeal the One Child Policy.

This case would lose rounds because they it is difficult to prove that China would cave to sanctions.

Background: China has had 1 child policy since 1978 China has a cultural preference towards boys over girls The 1 child policy has lead to gendercide as boys as chosen over girls

Definitions: Contextually defined

Criteria: Net Benefits/Quality of Life

True eastern culture has been suppressed and only systemic change can solve.

Harm 1) Gendercide A) Forced abortions B) Boys preferred over girls C) The 1 child policy is the enforcement and cause of this

Harm 2) Sex trafficking A) There is currently a gender imbalance in China B) There has been a large increase in kidnappings of girls and women. 2-3K a year and up to 20k.

Impacts 1) Systemic gender based killing 2) Dehumanization 3) Oppression of women

Under this current policy China will die out due to massive imbalance of men/women ratio

Plan: The USFG through an act of congress will implement a trade embargo excluding humanitarian and food aid until the termination of the 1 child policy.

Solv: China is econ centric and will comply.

Biola’s answers to Capitalism K:

1) Non unique, everyone bites Cap 2) Over limits aff ability to uphold res 3) China is the greatest advocate of Cap now, plan punishes them for it. 4) Neg concedes this is a policy round, never gives reason on why ballot is special or how K functions in policy framework 5) Case never deals directly with Cap 6) Case solves for dehum of Cap K  7) Performative Contradiction: Opp paid to be part of tournament and is participating in Cap, neg should quit now  8) Cap never touches the real issues presented by case 9) Nothing happens if judge rejects the K so might as well go with plan.

Biola’s, most recent, but less used case: Offer to China cooperation for missions to the moon to mine for Helium-3. The case argues that it is so profitable that China won’t refuse. Affirmative strategy is to attempt to outweigh any disadvantages by saying that cheap energy will diffuse all war or potential for war on the Earth.
