The Cause of the Current Conflict Between China and the United States

The relationship between China and the U.S. has always been one of the most concerned focuses of global politics, and many people believe that the biggest difference between China and the U.S. lies in their ideological differences. However, from the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the victory of the U.S. in the Cold War, it can be judged that ideology is not the biggest difference between the socialist countries and the capitalist countries, instead, the national interest is the biggest conflict point. Therefore, this paper analyzes the conflict points and strategic differences between China and the U.S. from three angles: trade disputes, the Taiwan issue, and strategic conflicts. After analysis, it can be concluded that the trade dispute is one of the main points of Sino-US relations, and the Taiwan issue is the top priority as well as the most sensitive topic between the two countries. Meanwhile, there is also a conflict of strategic interests between the U.S., which is committed to dominating the world, and China, which advocates peace and mutual assistance. The conflict between China and the U.S. will have a significant influence on the world's political economy, and the principles of peaceful coexistence and mutual respect should be the guidance, which is the key to keeping international order and global stability.
