Summary/Abstract: Over the past three decades relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China have evolved so broadly that they now encompass a full range of bilateral, regional, and global issues. The main challenge for both countries is the way in which their relationship could be managed to prevent China’s economic and military rise from generating acute competition that would lead to conflict and incalculable damage to the two nations. Statements of good intentions notwithstanding, relations remain influenced by deep mutual mistrust, and this mistrust is rooted in the opposing perceptions of the two countries. The article reviews the current status of bilateral relations to include the persistent mutual distrust; cooperation on various issues.
