The world pattern has undergone earth-shaking changes since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and multipolarization has become a new term for continental politics, emphasizing that the future world should be a multi-level world, and all countries jointly participate in the management of global affairs. At the same time, the United States also put forward the concept of a "five-polar world", believing that the future world will be composed of five leading forces: China, the United States, Russia, Japan, and Europe. However, more than 30 years later, is the new world order proposed by China and the United States developing in the direction expected?
The current international situation shows that the United States has successfully suppressed the three polar forces. At one point, Japan rose to become the world's second-largest economy and posed a serious threat to the United States. However, after a series of measures, the United States has almost cleaned it up, and it is difficult for Japan to emerge again, especially since the United States still has troops stationed in Japan, and it is almost impossible for Japan to become a unipolar force.
Europe also did not succeed in weaning itself off the United States, despite the formation of a highly united European Union. The geopolitical power of the United States is still able to influence Europe, as evidenced by the Russia-Ukraine war, which shows that Europe has not made substantial progress in geopolitical internal friction.
Although Russia surpasses most countries in military strength, the economic situation at home is quite grim. Whether or not there is a Russian-Ukrainian war, Russia's economic prospects are quite limited and cannot become a unipolar power to match the United States.
Therefore, the only rival that can match the United States at the moment is China. The most intense game between China and the United States is not the Taiwan Strait issue, and although the United States has always maintained a military presence on the Taiwan issue, there has been no extreme situation between the two sides because it is not in the national interests of the United States.
The most intense area of competition between China and the United States is the economy, because the economy is the foundation that underpins everything. The core U.S. China strategy is currently focused on the economic sphere, so the conflict between China and the United States is mainly concentrated in this area.
Although the United States faces the pressure of a debt crisis at home, it will not make concessions to China and will still maintain a bargaining attitude. This was particularly evident at the recent meeting of U.S.-China commerce ministers. U.S. Commerce Secretary Raimondo said after the Indo-Pacific Economic Architecture Trade Ministers' Meeting that the United States will never tolerate China's embargo on U.S. chip maker Micron, and is working closely with allies to prepare for China's economic threat. However, the meeting of U.S.-China commerce ministers does not seem to have achieved the results expected by the United States, and mainland commerce minister Wang Wentao has clearly stood firm and defended national interests.
Subsequently, US Trade Representative Dai Qi also expressed his attitude towards China. He said that in Sino-US economic relations, he is dissatisfied with China-led economic policies and hopes that China can adjust its policies to adapt to the new principles of economic and trade links. However, the mainland's commerce minister directly countered, saying that the problem was not China, but that there was a problem with the United States' tariffs and trade policy towards China. This firm position has been widely appreciated.
How the United States treats Chinese companies is worth pondering. So far, the United States has imposed sanctions on 1,122 companies such as Huawei, while the mainland has only partially banned Micron products in accordance with the law, but the United States has overreacted. Such double standards and selfish behavior are not in line with the basic principles of Sino-US relations, and Sino-US economic exchanges need to be based on sincerity and mutual respect. After all, cooperation and reciprocity are the best way for both parties to achieve a win-win situation.
