The China administration cannot expect the United States to change its strategy and policy towards Taiwan Province Province, but it must be prepared for non-peaceful reunification. However, the existence of the United States is an objective reality that China must face and cannot avoid. We must attach great importance to and strengthen our diplomatic work with the United States. After all, the United States is a country with a relatively perfect legal system. When dealing with America, we must make full use of all kinds of laws. Because jurisprudence is on China's side and justice is on China's side.

From the intuitive phenomenon, the past Sino-US relations were full of twists and turns, but they were all very resilient, and they always returned to stability in twists and turns, giving people a feeling that this relationship was extremely unpredictable. In fact, among the great power relations after the Cold War, Sino-US relations are indeed the most complicated and are becoming the most important. In order to grasp this important and complicated relationship, it is necessary to understand several basic characteristics of Sino-US relations in the post-cold war period:

First of all, this is an unbalanced relationship between political and economic development. The political relations between the two countries are not very good, and there are frequent frictions between the two governments. However, in contrast to political relations, Sino-US economic and trade relations and social and cultural exchanges have doubled since the Cold War, and the content of bilateral relations is much richer than that during the Cold War. According to the statistics of China Customs, the trade volume between China and the United States was11700 million US dollars, and it was 85 billion US dollars in 2000, which is a very fast growth rate. According to American statistics, this speed is even faster. In 2000, the trade volume reached11500 million USD. In addition, social (education, culture, personnel, etc. The exchanges between China and the United States are also very frequent. According to American statistics, there are more than 50,000 China students studying in American universities, which is several times more than the total number sent to the United States by the Soviet Union over the past 70 years. Therefore, Sino-US relations are extremely complicated.

Secondly, Sino-US relations are not simple state-to-state relations, but increasingly become the relationship between two societies. Especially in the United States, a large number of social groups or political forces openly and legally intervene in Sino-US relations, which makes the American government unable to decide its China policy independently in many cases, but can only passively respond to social pressure. As a result, government policies have become dependent variables, not independent variables. As a result, in some cases, Sino-US relations show the situation that the whole American society treats the relatively thin China administration. As the government is always a small part of society (although it is the most important part), the above-mentioned relationship model between society and government is not good for China. On the other hand, the most profound change in China in the past 20 years is the change in the relationship between the state and society, from "strong state and weak society" to "relatively balanced state and society". As a result, the role of social factors in China's diplomacy, especially that of the United States, has also begun to rise. In the short run, it makes China's foreign policy-making environment more complicated, while in the long run, it puts Sino-US relations in a new society-to-society structure.

Third, a basic background of Sino-US relations is that the strength of the two countries is unbalanced, the United States is stronger and China is weaker. However, with the rise of China, for the first time since the Cold War, there has been a new trend that the power of the two countries is constantly moving towards balance. This new reality has brought new challenges to the two countries. For the United States, it is to adapt to an increasingly powerful China. For China, it is an extremely important background to realize that in Sino-US relations, or in the overall relationship between China and the international community, the China factor is becoming more and more important, China's own policies are playing an increasingly important role, and China's ability to shape the external environment is getting stronger and stronger, so China's demands on its own behavior and policies are getting higher and higher. In this context, the quality of future Sino-US relations will increasingly depend on China's policies.

Fourth, Sino-US relations are not only important to the two countries, but also crucial to the entire Asia-Pacific region. In a sense, Sino-US relations have a global impact. This is also why neighboring countries and other big countries are very concerned once there is a problem in Sino-US relations.
