Abstract

Liberalism is derived from Europe, and had developed into the liberalism with American characteristics. Influenced by the realism and conservatism in US foreign ideology, it has been ideologized as the so-called liberal democracy grand strategy in foreign policy process. The main objectives of liberalism, conservatism and realism were the same : they are all devoted themselves into promoting the enterprise of exporting liberal democracy system abroad and remaking the world through American model. However, their priority ,means and policy measures are different. When we explore the implications of liberalism in the Sino-US relations we could come to the conclusion : the policy preference set by liberalists makes three incompatible areas and also creates two opportunity areas. So, how to balance the two sides will be one of the important tasks of Chinaps diplomacy to America in the new era.
