　Professor Avery Goldstein proceeded from the concept of Grand Strategy in designated periods and characteristics of China’s Grand Strategy since 1949. Mr. Goldstein pointed out that since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, China’s Grand Strategy can be divided into two periods. The first period is from 1949 to 1989, during which China’s strategic goal is to maintain national survival (strategy of survival). The second period is from 1992 to present, during which China’s strategic goal is to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation(strategy of rejuvenation).

　Professor Goldstein added that with the changes of external environment, transformation of national strength and strategic visions, certain unique features are reflected in the process of realizing China’s strategic goals. In-depth studies of the internal and external changes and characteristics are fundamental to a comprehensive grasp of China’s Evolving Grand Strategy.

　In conclusion, Professor Avery Goldstein put forward his views on the prospect of China-U.S. strategic interaction and proposals on how to avoid strategic misperceptions.
