Abstract

Based on recent Chinese source materials, this article presents Chinese views of the role of the United States as a global and Pacific power in historical, economic, security, and political dimensions. The image of the United States in China is in general a very negative one. It is portrayed as a declining power with ambitions to dominate the Asia‐Pacific region and the whole world. Beijing's attitude toward Washington has its origins in Chinese domestic goals and needs. Despite the negative sentiments, however, the Chinese leadership has a realistic understanding of the United States in international affairs and wants to improve relations with it.
