塑造中美战略竞争的新常态

Shaping the New Normal of China-US Strategic Competition

拜登政府继承了特朗普政府对华基本定位和对华政策基本思路,同时试图打造对美国更有利、更可持续的对华竞争战略。执政一年来,拜登政府以竞争的名义,全方位强化对华遏制、打压与威慑。另一方面,拜登政府在对华关系上也有合作需求,表达出避免冲突的愿望。中国在处理对美关系上展现出战略定力和塑造力,面对美国的遏制、打压和挑衅进行坚决斗争,同时以积极的外交运筹塑造中美互动的环境和进程。当下驱动中美关系朝着消极方向演变的动能依然强劲,双方应面对竞争不断加剧的现实塑造两国关系的新常态,提升竞争的良性,增加合作的空间,降低冲突的风险,其中确立并守住两国关系的下限尤为重要。

The Biden administration inherited the Trump administration’s basic positioning of China and followed its line of thinking on China policy, while attempting to formulate a competitive strategy towards China that is more beneficial and sustainable for the United States. During its first year in office, the Biden administration endeavored to contain, constrain and deter China in an all-round way in the name of competition, but at the same time it also sought for cooperation with China and expressed the willingness to avoid conflicts. China resolutely fought against US containment, suppression and provocation, while striving to shape the context and process of Sino-US interaction through active diplomatic maneuvering. At a time when dynamics driving the bilateral relationship downward remain robust, both sides should face the reality of their more intense competition and seek to shape a new normal of their relations by pursuing more benign contest, increasing the space for cooperation and coordination, and reducing the risk of conflicts. In particular, it is all the more imperative to hold the bottom line of bilateral relations.
