Since the establishment of diplomatic ties 30 years ago, Sino-US relations have made remarkable progress. After Obama took over, especially in the context of the financial crisis, the relationship between the two sides was pushed to the foreground of history for the first time. It can be said that the trend of Sino-US relations affects the nerves of the whole world, and this issue is even more confusing in the complicated environment of international politics. People have different views on this issue, as well. I feel that after 30 years of ups and downs, the distrust between China and the United States is also increasing when relations in all aspects are becoming more and more mature. In other words, as China and the United States become immature on a wide range of issues, their more natural distrust of each other's long-term intentions is increasing.
Review on the Development of Sino-US Relations
197 1 year, the two sides opened the prelude to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries with ping-pong diplomacy. From 65438 to 0979, when Deng Xiaoping visited the United States, China and the United States began to have substantive bilateral relations. 1986 1 1 month, the US Pacific Fleet visited Qingdao, China, and the bilateral relations between China and the United States extended from the political and economic fields to the military fields. In August 2005, the first strategic dialogue between China and the United States was held in Beijing, and bilateral relations developed to a strategic height. Shortly after the US trusted President Obama to take office in 2009, the new Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited China and kept close contact with China. This move is widely regarded as a prelude to the arrival of a new stage in the development of Sino-US relations.
Judging from the above development process, the general trend of the development of bilateral relations between China and the United States is constantly moving forward, so the cooperation between the two sides will be closer in the foreseeable period. However, we should also see that with the increasing strength of China, it will inevitably be regarded by the United States as the biggest potential threat to the interests of the United States or China. This is obviously directly related to the global hegemonic strategy of the United States. Therefore, from this perspective, Americans' distrust of China will be more prominent in the coming period. It seems contradictory that the United States "loves and hates" China, but it is not surprising to study its China policy carefully. In fact, the US policy toward China has not changed, but China is constantly changing and becoming stronger. No matter how China shows its strength, it will inevitably "infringe" the interests of the United States. On the other hand, the dependence of the United States on China and China's influence in the world make the United States afraid to take drastic measures. Because of this situation, radish is temporarily pushed to the forefront by the status quo, but we should also see that the stick is gradually hardening quietly. All this determines that Sino-US relations must advance in a duet of progress and twists and turns.
