Sino-US relations have always been the focus of global attention. The hotly debated question is whether war will break out between the two superpowers. James Stavridis discussed the possibility of a Sino-American war in his article in the Nikkei Shimbun, which sparked widespread discussion. However, looking back at the history of the U.S.-China relationship, we will find both a chapter of cooperation and a page of war. This complex and tortuous journey not only tells us about past experience, but also provides insight into the uncertainty of the future.
The Empress of China slowly sailed towards Guangzhou, a historic moment that marked a crucial step in the early years of the United States to break the British blockade. However, Sino-US exchanges have not been smooth sailing, as marked by China's Treaty of Mongxia, which was once fraught with inequality. These ups and downs also demonstrate the complex and changeable relationship between the two countries.
The outbreak of the Korean War became an important turning point in Sino-US relations. U.S. involvement and Chinese assistance made the war the trigger for the Sino-American conflict. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, there was a huge disparity in strength between China and the United States, but China resolutely assisted Vietnam and showed its determination to resolutely defend its national interests. However, the United States paid a heavy price in the Vietnam War, not only by investing heavily financially, but also by leading to the suicides of a large number of Vietnam veterans, a war that had a lasting toll on the psyche of American society.
After the end of the Cold War, U.S. policy toward China evolved from competition to containment. The Obama-era "Asia-Pacific rebalance" was essentially designed to contain a rising China. The China policy of the Trump era was more aggressive, while the Biden administration after taking office went all out to win allies around the world to deal with China. The US Department of Defense even threatened to use unprecedented military force, showing the clear hostility of the United States to China.
However, historians point out that "the only thing more common than predicting the end of a war is the war itself." Although most people do not like war, the history of Sino-US relations is full of war-torn chapters. How to cope with an uncertain future has become the focus of global attention.
