Sino-American or US and
china relation refer to the international relationship between the people’s
republic of china and the United States of America. Most analysts have
characterized US-China relations as complex and multi-faceted. The United
States of America and People’s Republic of china being neither allies nor
enemies. The US government and military basically regards china as an adversary,
but as a competitor in some areas and partner in others. The US has the world’s
largest economy while china is second. China on the other hand has the largest
population while US is third largest. These two countries are the world’s
largest consumers of oil and the two largest emitters of greenhouse gasses.
Relations
between US and China have generally been stable with some period of tension
especially after the breakup of Soviet Union, which removed a common enemy and
ushered in a world characterized by American dominance. Over the past few
weeks, there have been issues regarding the US-China relations like the
cyber-attacks on Google, China’s reaction to US arms sales to Taiwan; US
president Obama’s meeting with the Dalai Lama; disagreement over Iran’s nuclear
program and the debates over the value of China’s currency and climate
change.
We
can see that there have been many misunderstanding between the US-China
relations but then there have also been some advantages. I think the conflict
between these two countries will continue to rise and there will be more
conflicts that will happen but then we cannot really predict what will happen
or which country will eventually win and be the number one. Even though these
countries will become allies, there will still be conflict because they will
eventually protect their own country and they will protect their own interest.
I think the best thing to do is to have a clear agreement or a treaty between
these countries so that everything will be clear. This agreement should include
the things that is allowed and not allowed for these two countries like having nuclear
weapons for an example. These countries are competing hence they will try to be
on top of the other so there might be wars and that might harm other countries
or the whole world. So they should fix these conflicts as soon as possible to
prevent further conflicts or tensions between the US-China relations.
