In the Chinese academic circles, the study of China-U.S relations has achieved tremendous progress after nearly 30 years' endeavor. This is no doubt gratifying.

In the Chinese academic circles, the study of China-U.S. relations has achieved tremendous progress after nearly 30 years' endeavor. This is no doubt gratifying. In recent years, the United States has put forward the new concept of "stakeholder" and, based on it, defined China-U.S. relations in the 21st century. The term of "stakeholder" was written into the 2006 edition of the U.S. National Security Strategy by the White House and the 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review issued by the Pentagon, thus becoming a new consensus within the U.S. administration. This shows that the United States has already recognized and initially accepted the rise of China and made a new definition for relations between them. Accordingly, China-U.S. relations have shown new features in different phases.
