Since the normalization of China-U.S. relations in 1979, there have been various disputes and friction between both countries. But their common interests far outweigh their differences and win-win cooperation has been the defining feature of the bilateral relationship. Over the past four decades, both countries have benefited enormously from their stable and healthy interactions, which contribute to peace, stability and prosperity of the world. However, the Trump administration has deliberated major shifts to the U.S.’ China policy, labeling China as a “revisionist power” and “strategic rival” while setting many barriers to trade, economic, technological, educational and cultural exchange and cooperation. Despite the ongoing transformation of the strategic relationship between both countries, China and the United States are unlikely to enter into a “de-coupling” or a new Cold War. Faced by growing strategic uncertainties, it is still possible for both countries to maintain a generally stable relationship based on their vast common interests. For China, it is important to exercise utmost strategic patience and stamina to ease friction and manage competition with the United States while also promoting the positive aspects of their bilateral relations.

This article examines how Wilsonian foreign policy tradition has shaped the postwar US One China policy, and how Jacksonianism, championed by the Donald Trump administration, challenges that vision. Embracing militant nationalism, commercial mercantilism, and unilateralist diplomacy, Trump’s commitment to “One China” will more likely be conditional on Sino–American transactional interchanges.

Für das Jahr 2016 wird eine regionale Welthandelsmatrix für den Warenverkehr erstellt und mit den entsprechenden Werten des Jahres 2006 verglichen. Es dominieren nach wie vor die drei Welthandelspole Westeuropa, Nordamerika und Asien, wobei der Handel mit Asien und auch innerhalb Asiens besonders dynamisch wächst, mit China als treibender Kraft. Das im Jahr 2006 ganz erhebliche Handelsbilanzdefizit Nordamerikas ist zwar zurückgegangen, aber nach wie vor sehr hoch, auf der Überschussseite sticht China hervor. Die Trump-Administration will das Handelsbilanzdefizit der USA durch protektionistische Maßnahmen verringern. Dabei wird übersehen, dass die Handelsbilanz nur eine Teilbilanz der Leistungsbilanz ist, die gesamte Leistungsbilanz der USA ist wegen Überschüssen im Dienstleistungsverkehr und bei den Erwerbs- und Vermögenseinkommen ausgeglichen.
