中美竞争性相互依存关系探析

Competitive Interdependence between China and the U.S.

中美关系的发展受制于竞争与相互依存两个变量的互动。竞争与相互依存共存于中美关系之中,从而导致中美关系的复合性。从冷战后的中美关系变化来看,中美竞争的性质在变化,非零和竞争在上升;中美相互依存中的安全依存正在发展。竞争与相互依存既作为中美关系的自变量,也互为因变量。作者认为,中美两国必须避免对立与相互分割的两个极端做法,从竞争与相互依存的复合视角来审视中美关系。竞争与相互依存的对立统一是中美关系发展的重要特征。

The development of China-US relations is subject to the interactions of two fac tors: competition and interdependence. The coexistence of competition and interd ependence has led to the complexity of Sino-US relations. In terms of its post- Cold War development, the Sino-US relationship has changed in nature: non-zer o competition rises and security interdependence develops. Competition and inter dependence are both independent variables and dependent variable for each other. China and the U.S. should avoid going to extremes of conflicts or interdependen t conflicts. Being an important feature of Sino-US relations, the unity of oppo sites between competition and interdependence requires a compound perspective to handling the bilateral relations.
