奥巴马第一任期的中美关系

Sino-US Relations in the First Term of the Obama Administration

2009-2012年,奥巴马执政第一任期的中美关系呈现"高开低走"的态势,在国际金融危机的背景下,美国一度对与中国的合作寄予期望,但中美关系最终失去了"合作共赢"的机遇。随后,中美围绕经贸、汇率、对台军售、达赖与人权、朝核等传统问题的斗争持续不休,安全与军事互信持续恶化。随着美国"重返亚太战略"的出台,围绕东海、南海领海争端的斗争成为中美之间新的博弈领域。2012年,中国提出"新型大国关系"的理念,力图超越大国关系的"修昔底德陷阱",然而在两国力量结构发生变化的时期,这一理念要在现实中落实还需要双方付出巨大努力。

This article reviews the development of Sino-US relations in the first term of he Barack Obama administration from 2009 to 2012.As the global financial crisis spread,the US once held great expectations on bilateral cooperation,but the two countries have failed to catch that win-win opportunity for cooperation.After that,their relations deteriorated steadily as they disputed over such traditional issues as trade,RMB exchange rate,arms sale to Taiwan,Dalai Lama,human rights,and North Korea' s nuclear plans,leading to weakened mutual strategic trust.Moreover,after Washington launched its "Pivot to Asia" policy,their differences surrounding East and South China Sea issues have become a new field of gaming.In 2012,China put forward the "new-type major power relations" concept,which is designed to overcome the Thucydides' Trap.However,given the dramatic changes in the strengths of the two countries,which could lead to serious frictions,the two countries need to make great efforts to materialize the concept.
