JCC Position Detail Guide

Hi Delegates,

 I wanted to share with you a guide on each and every one of your characters - here. We will keep adding details to this guide, but wanted to share the first iteration with you.

 As you attempt to write amazing position papers, you can loosely follow the general BMUN position paper guide, but writing from the position of your character, not your country.

 As always, email me [dbhatia(at)bmun(dot)org], if you have any questions!

    Honorable Chair, thank you for the update on our character roles! They will be invaluable to myself and my fellow delegates in the writing of our individual position papers. I look forward to further updates on our roles and the conference to come.

    - Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis

China's Belt and Road Initiative

Hi delegates! The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is arguably Beijing's most ambitious economic and diplomatic since the founding of the People's Republic of China. This $1 trillion plan involves massive infrastructure projects that span more than 60 countries. It has the potential to be the world's largest platform for regional collaboration.  The BRI refers to the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. Unveiled in 2013 as "One Belt, One Road" (OBOR), the BRI is President Xi Jinping's flagship foreign policy.

Policies on Nuclear Weaponry

Hello delegates! Nuclear weapons are a vital issue in US-China relations, and so it is important to understand the current nuclear situation. A recently leaked draft of the Trump Administration's Nuclear Posture Review outlines the American position on nuclear weapons. While only a draft of the official policy, the paper calls for an expansion of the nuclear weapons program, with a particular emphasis on the development of low-yield nuclear weapons. Strikingly, the paper leaves open the avenue of nuclear retaliation for major non-nuclear attacks. Similarly, China recently released a military paper outlining their plans for their nuclear weapons program. This paper states that in response to the nuclear strategies of the US and Russia, China must strengthen its nuclear capabilities for the purposes of deterrence and retaliation. It specifically points to Russia's goal to have 90% of its arsenal consist of advanced nuclear armaments by 2021 and the US Congressional Budget O...

Position Paper Guidelines

Hi Delegates, I wanted to give you some guidance on position paper writing for JCC. We purposely left the position paper guidelines vague to give you a taste of what it will be like to be in a committee like JCC - everchanging, fast, unexpected, and open-ended. That being said, the following should help you as you finish up your papers: Use the regular BMUN position paper guidelines as a base Talk about past actions taken (be it by your character or by the country you're a part of) Talk about what you believe are the most important issues to tackle (be it domestically or internationally) and why Talk about your proposed solutions to those issues, and how you would go about attending to them Finally, questions to consider - I'd like you to brainstorm some future predicaments that might come your way in committee; ie: what are some future problems that US/China might have to deal with? I hope this helped add some color, and we're all excited to see your positio...
