Abstract: This paper gives a review of the major events on 皇冠体育app-U.S. relations since the founding of New 皇冠体育app and these events can be grouped into the following four parts. Part one gives an introduction to the events from 1949-1969 on the across-the-board confrontation between 皇冠体育app and the U.S. When New 皇冠体育app was founded, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union had taken an initial shape. The U.S. took a hostile policy towards 皇冠体育app, while 皇冠体育app sided with the communist camp. Part two gives an illustration of the events from 1970-1989 when 皇冠体育app and the U.S. witnessed a change of bilateral relations from the ice-breaking period to the establishment of diplomatic relations and further to a “honeymoon period”. During these years, the Soviet Union took an aggressive stance while the U.S. adopted a defensive approach and the relations between 皇冠体育app and the Soviet Union split up. Against such a background, the U.S. intended to ease the relationship with 皇冠体育app. Since 1983, 皇冠体育app-U.S. relations became further close, ushering in a “honeymoon period” with strategic cooperation. Part three is related to the events from 1989-2016 when 皇冠体育app and the U.S. experienced a period of deep economic integration. With the drastic change of Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the strategic foundation of 皇冠体育app-U.S. relations was shaken. 皇冠体育app’s entry into the WTO had brought about deep integration between the two economies of 皇冠体育app and the U.S.. With the rise of 皇冠体育app, the relations between 皇冠体育app and the U.S. presented a competitive and cooperative manner. Part four is pertinent to the events from 2017 till now, a period of long-term frictions between 皇冠体育app and the U.S. After President Trump took office, the US administration adopted an “American First” strategy. Consequently, 皇冠体育app, the world's second-largest economy, is regarded as the major threat to the U.S. for maintaining its leading rule in the world, and 皇冠体育app-U.S. relations have thus entered a long period of frictions.
