Features: This book highlights the different policies the United States has adopted toward China over the past 100 years in response to its own national interests and the need to uphold its values, as well as the interactions and balances of power among various forces in the Far East, particularly between the U.S., Russia, China, and Japan, and their impacts. It outlines the general framework and course of the development of U.S.-China relations. In the 21st century, the relationship between the U.S. and China will continue to influence East Asian international relations, and vice versa. Moreover, with the development of international political multipolarity and economic globalization, non-bilateral factors affecting U.S.-China relations will become increasingly prominent. Not only will East Asian international relations influence U.S.-China relations, but some global factors will also exert a growing impact on them. We can compile a long list, and the content of these relationships itself is constantly evolving. Scholars of U.S.-China relations history must keep pace with the times, continuously expanding our research areas to adapt to the needs of the changing era.
