Abstract

At the beginning of the 21st century, the distribution of global power changed markedly. The absence of a US strategic vision led to a power crisis, accelerating the tendencies of emerging multi-polarity with many centers of power worldwide. Since President Trump took office in January 2017, the United States has challenged the traditional standards of international relations on many fronts and, in particular, has shifted its approach to China, where geopolitical antagonism trumpeted in its economic interdependence. The growing concern of the United States has weakened multilateralism and globalization, producing significant repercussions and effects on global power relations. In future, Washington and Beijing must strive for shared objectives to unite them to settle discrepancies and establish limits for any conflicts. The U.S. leadership must constantly bear in mind that China is an essential partner, and if both countries fail to cooperate, catastrophic consequences for the globe would arise. Meanwhile, Washington and Beijing must be mindful that any severe conflict between two high-tech nations may significantly alter the globe for everyone.
