After the Cold War, Sino-US relations entered a new stage of development due to the promotion of Asia-Pacific and China's position in American foreign strategy and the obvious strengthening of American strategic deployment in the Asia-Pacific region. "Although there have been some signs of improvement in Sino-US relations after the /9. 1 10 incident, it has not changed the basic layout and adjustment direction of the US Asia-Pacific strategy, especially its China strategy."

After the Cold War, the international pattern changed from bipolar confrontation to multipolarization. "The foreign strategy and policy of the United States are gradually changing from/cold war type 0 to/post-cold war type 0." In this process, the United States pays more attention to Asia-Pacific and China, which will have a far-reaching impact on the evolution of Sino-US relations and even the world structure.

One! The United States and China in the development of multipolarization in the world

After the end of the Cold War, various world powers and regional powers have established various forms of partnerships based on the new international reality, and the process of multipolarization is broader! Expanding to a deeper level "In this process, the advantages of the comprehensive national strength of the United States are more obvious; Russia's economy continues to decline, although it has increased slightly, but the economic recovery is still insufficient; The EU economy is rising steadily, but as an important force independent of the United States, its influence needs to be enhanced. Japan's economy continues to slump 10 years, its politics! Economy! Structural reforms are urgently needed in areas such as diplomacy; China's economy continues to maintain rapid growth! The good momentum of steady growth has further strengthened its influence in regional and international affairs. " According to the American research report, if China continues to develop according to the current momentum, it will become a formidable power by 20 15. By 2050, China may become a formidable military opponent of the United States in the Far East, and may replace the United States as the main security partner of all countries in the Far East. "At present, the United States is/is the first and only truly global power, and China is not a global country but a regional country. The two are at different levels.

Different determines different interests. "The United States believes that its interests are all over the world, so it must lead the world to protect its interests from infringement to the maximum extent. Only it can assume leadership responsibilities and successfully fulfill its leadership obligations." China is concerned about maintaining territorial and sovereign integrity, creating a peaceful and stable surrounding and international environment, and making full use of domestic and international conditions to better develop the national economy. "Therefore, the strategic choices of foreign policies of the United States and China are very different." The United States has formed an alliance! Safety cooperation! Promote the free market economy model! Expansion/democracy 0, even force deterrence! Economic sanctions and containment to prevent the rise of emerging powers and challenge the United States.

China pursues an independent foreign policy of peace, stands for opposing hegemonism and power politics, and stands for establishing justice! Reasonable! Democracy! Equal international politics! The new economic order "in essence, American foreign strategy and policy are offensive, while China's foreign strategy and policy are peaceful", which shows that China and the United States do not constitute a strategic and tactical competitive relationship of mutual reciprocity; There is no fundamental conflict of interest at the same level between the two sides. "This is the basic structural feature of Sino-US relations" conflicts or confrontations with the United States, which is not in the fundamental interests of China. China has neither the intention nor the ability to challenge the hegemonic position of the United States. What it pursues is only the most basic and reasonable rights and interests of a normal country: to protect its territory and sovereignty from infringement and let its citizens live a stable and happy life. "In contrast, the United States is taking advantage of the lack of effective containment/strategic opportunity period, making full use of its superior strength, stepping up the forced reconstruction of the international environment according to its own wishes and models, and safeguarding and expanding its own interests. They disregard the interests of other countries and impose their will on the entire international community. " Therefore, the so-called contradictions and conflicts between the United States and China are ultimately rooted in the United States' understanding, attitude and policy behavior towards the world, especially China.
