中美关系中的“放大镜效应”

"Magnifying Glass Effect" in the Sino-U.S. Relations

中美关系中既存在竞争,也存在合作,在战略层面或政治安全层面是竞争为主,在其他层面有可能以合作为主,或者竞争与合作同时存在。同时,中美关系中存在一种"放大镜效应",将双方关系中的某些正(负)面事件不同程度地放大,良(恶)化两国的政治气氛,进而影响两国的决策层。这具体表现为首脑外交和南海争端的效应在一定程度上被放大。这样的放大效应会影响对中美关系性质的认识,可能对中美关系的发展产生不利影响。

In the China-U.S. relations, there are competitions and cooperation. On political and strategic level, it is prior to competition while in other aspects, it may prioritize cooperation, with sometimes competition and cooperation coexisting. At the same time, there is a"magnifying glass effect" in China-U.S. relations, looming some positive(negative) aspects of the relationship between the two countries, with the consequence of improving(worsening)mutual relation, and of affecting their respective decision-making. These have, to a certain extent, been demonstrated in the summit diplomacy and the dispute on South China Sea. Such a magnifying effect will affect a proper understanding of China-U.S. relations, and may impose a negative influence on its development.
