    The relationship between the United States and China will perhaps shape international order more than any other phenomenon. One could argue, though, that competition between the US and China is most acute in the physical space of the Asia-Pacific region. Even though the US has been the transcendent power there for as far back as seven decades now, it is still China's lawn and, going back hundreds of years, the center of its worldview. The South China Sea emerges as a significant chronicle for three sets of interactions: those between the US and China, China and its neighbors, and…

    The ‘lost chance’ argument for Sino-American accommodation was undermined by the ideology of both parties. There never existed a chance in 1949 whereby the United States could detach the People’s Republic of China from the Soviet sphere of influence. Chinese diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union were too intimate despite the tensions that arose between Mao and Stalin throughout the late 1940s. The cultural and historical context that the Chinese Communists evoked when dealing with the Western powers had a deeper impact than the material aid and support offered to the Chiang Kai-shek regime, unless the Chinese Communists were treated as equals there could be no meaningful engagement with the United States and her allies.…

    The 2003 inauguration of the sixteenth congress of China was widely perceived as both potential political reform in China, as well as the continuation of peaceful negotiations with the United States (Sutter, pg.1). This has been an imperative transformation for many components of the relationship, especially considering the United States has pushed for China to transition from a communist government to a democratic form. Before the induction of the new congress, tensions had been high between the two countries for more than a decade. During the 1990’s the relationship between the countries had gone through strenuous times, mostly due to political issues that arose in communist countries (Sutter, pg.2). The fall of the USSR, although beneficial for trade in China, put pressure on them to stray away from their communist ways.…
