Competition and Cooperation: A Study of the Motivation of China-U.S. Cooperation and Conflict Management in the New Era

Abstract

At present, China and the United States are the world’s largest economies and important international political forces. China-U.S. relations are both driven by cooperation and face certain conflict challenges. On the one hand, the impetus for China-US cooperation comes from their respective economic interests and common global challenges, and China-US trade and investment cooperation has played a positive role in the economic growth and employment of the two countries. On the other hand, there are some potential conflict factors in China-US relations, such as trade friction, military competition, regional strife and other issues, which may lead to the escalation of conflict between China and the U.S. This paper aims to study the motivation of China-US cooperation in the new era as well as how to carry out effective conflict control, so as to put forward some constructive suggestions for competition and cooperation between China and the United States.
