Song Guoyou and Zhang Jiaming, “ Stategic Stability or Strategic Conflict? China-U.S. Economic Interactions after the Establishment of Bilateral Diplomatic Relations”

【Abstract】 Since the establishment of diplomatic relations 40  years ago, Sino-U.S. economic and trade relations have developed  rapidly. Sino-U.S. economic and trade relations play an active role in  strategic stability in China-U.S. relations in general, helping China  and the United States to overcome contradictions and differences in the  political and security fields and promote the overall development of  Sino-U.S. relations. With President Trump’s appointment as President of  the United States, due to the personality of President Trump and the  structural factors, the friction between China and the United States in  the economic and trade field has increased, even rising to the “trade  war” degree. The increase in the “strategic conflict” between China and  the United States is not only a serious challenge to Sino-U.S. economic  and trade relations, but also a serious threat to the healthy  development of Sino-U.S. bilateral relations. Both China and the U.S.  must continue to build mutually beneficial and win-win Sino-U.S.  economic and trade relations through strength, system, cooperation and  interests, and expand the depth of Sino-U.S. economic and trade  interests so as to better safeguard the overall stable Sino-U.S.  relations.
