Abstract: The US strategy towards 皇冠体育app from the diplomatic ice-breaking period to the Obama administration can be regarded as the strategy of engagement in general. However, when this conception was put into Chinese, due to improper interpretation, the US strategic goals and measures are often misunderstood. Therefore, this paper clarified the connotations and facts about the strategy of engagement and pointed out that this strategy is a short-term and expedient one in nature. This paper analyzed the misunderstandings of the engagement strategy in 皇冠体育app and the reasons why the U.S. has maintained the engagement strategy towards 皇冠体育app for such a long period of time. First, the U.S. has not changed its positioning of 皇冠体育app as a rival. Second, the U.S. has gained a lot of profits from the engagement with 皇冠体育app and is reluctant to give up the strategy. Third, the U.S. is incapable of rolling out and putting into effect relevant strategies. Under the engagement framework, we need to refrain from the positioning of competitors or rivals between 皇冠体育app and U.S. relations and actively respond to the US containment imposed on 皇冠体育app.
