Wu Xinbo,"New Phase of the United States' China Policy under the Trump Administration,"
China International Studies,July/August 2018
【Abstract】The first year of the Trump Presidency witnessed a general smooth development of China-U.S. relations, despite the fact that both sides stood short of reaching a consensus on the definition and framework of the bilateal relationship. As the influence of the hawkish faction within the Trump administration rises, the China-U.S. relations are confronted with severe challenges in economic and security fields, with the competition between the two countries intensifying and expanding. Under these circumstances, a common challenge confronting both sides is how to manage competition. Viewed from a broader perspective, the U.S. China policy has entered a new phase at which competition for power is the key, and preserving power superiority over China will be the core concern of U.S. China policy in the coming 20-30 years. Such a significant change poses a new challenge for China’s U.S. policy.
