China-U.S. Military Relationship： Retrospect and Prospect

China-U.S, military relationship, one of the most important and complicated bilateral military relationships, is subjected to more restraining factors than any other military relationships in the current world.

China-U.S. Relations： Harmony without Conformity

In order to develop China-U.S. relations , we must enhancestrategic mutual trust. But the strengthening of mutual trust cannot be achieved overnight. Besides, due to differences in history, national interests and development strategy, the level of trust that the two countries can reach is limited. Then, under the premise that strategic differences exist between China and the     

Personal View on Sino-U.S. ＇Trust Deficit＇

The lack of strategic trust between China and the U.S.has attracted a great deal of attention recently in both countries.An article carried in Stars and Strips newspaper said that "bilateral distrust is at an all-time high," and the two are engaged in a "new kind of Cold War".1 Several newspapers in China carried this story and several Chinese scholars also gave their take on the situation.2 The author of this paper believes that this is an exaggerated and one-sided view and does not reflect the reality of the state of China-U.S.relations.     

EU vs. U.S. , Russia and China

China-U.S. Relations： A Sober-Minded Assessment With High Expectations

Whenever a new U.S. President swears in, China-U.S. relations will go through a period of mutual adaptation. But this time, after Barack Obama came into the White House there was a good beginning in China-U.S. relations which have remained rather stable over the short span of the change of administration. We have good reason for high hopes that the two countries will join hands in moving toward a viable, all-round partnership in the 21st Century. However, from a historical perspective and in view of the actual distinctions between the two countries, we should remain sober-minded.     

Rethinking on China-U.S. Relations

In the quarter-century since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the former Soviet Union＇s disintegration in 1991 and the end of the Cold War,China-U.S. relations have supported the trend of development. The two countries extensively and intensively have engaged in dialogue, close personnel exchanges, unprecedented economic and trade relations, and bilateral coordination on intemational and regional issues. The bilateral relationship has profound influence over the two countries and the world but, while total confrontation and crisis is not on the horizon, there is no guarantee that their future disagreements will not become serious or intractable. In this past quarter-century, the U.S. has repeatedly used and threatened to use force against China, a sign that military conflict between them, even a local or relatively large-scale war, is not out of the question. The U.S. global strategy has not changed, the basic content and goals of the U.S. strategy towards China have not changed, and the nature of the China-U.S. relationship is yet to be defined.

＂Deindustrialization＂ and Sino-Brazilian Ties

After the global financial crisis broke out in 2008, major industrial economies became concerned about delndustrlahzation . The important roles that the industrial sector plays in creating jobs and ensuring intemational competitiveness began to be recognized again. The U.S. launched its policy of ＂re-industrialization＂ and Brazil published a plan to develop its industrial sector between 2011 and 2014. China＇s industrial sector has rapidly developed. ＂Deindustrialization＂ sparked widespread concern because it is connected with the global distribution of technological capability and the future global economic order. It is noteworthy that the U.S., Brazil and some other major economies partly blamed China for the problems that ＂deindustrialization＂ has caused and this has had an increasing effect on China＇ s relations with these countries. It reflects China＇ s problem as a new manufacturing power. In this article, the author analyzes those political and economic factors associated with ＂deindustrialization＂ and makes some suggestions for the Sino-Brazilian strategic partnership. In this way, the author explores some ideas on establishing a new type of big power relations.     

Thoughts on Current China-U. S. Relations

Aheated debate arose on the nature of China-U. S. relations among scholars inthe two countries. Are the two "strategic partners"? "Competitors"? "Neitherfriends nor enemies"? Or even "Potential enemies"? But largely since 1997, alongwith the establishment of the framework for "a constructive strategic partnership",the definition seems to has been accepted by the mainstream in the Chinese academ-ic circle.

China and the United States Can Avoid a Strategic Showdown （detailed abstracts）

The December of 2008 marks the 30th anniversary of China＇s initiation of the reform and opening-up policy and the 30th anniversary of the publication of the China-U.S. Joint Communique. It is not an accidental coincidence. The normalization of China-U.S. relations enjoyed a very significant status in the general openingup blueprint painted by Mr. Deng Xiaoping. It would be beneficial to create a favorable external environment for China＇s modernization drive; and the U.S. would possibly become an important partner for economic cooperation with China. Over the past 30 years, it has been proved that Mr. Deng Xiaoping＇s consideration at that time was completely right.
