| Summary/Abstract |
The article seeks to trace the development of International Relations Theory (IRT) in China since 1978. Based on the data collected from five major International Relations (IR) journals published in China as well as a series of translated Western classics and important IRT works by Chinese scholars, the article concludes that two parallel processes are at work in China over the last thirty years. One is a tenacious learning process aimed at knowledge acquirement and generation. It is primarily a process of learning from the West, especially the US, through which IR has developed as an independent academic discipline in China. The resulting triangular competition for influence among the three imported schools of IRT, that is, Realism, Liberalism and Constructivism coincides with the internal debates on China's rise and integration into the international community. The other is a process of developing a Chinese school of IRT. Dissatisfied with the dominance of Western theoretical discourse in the Chinese context, scholars in China have been trying to bring Chinese thoughts back in and establish a distinctly Chinese perspective on IRT.

| Summary/Abstract |
In recent years, Chinese scholars and policy elites have discussed the ever intensifying strategic competition between the United States and China and its multifaceted implications for Chinese foreign policy. Some even worry about the possibility of a new Cold War between the United States and China. This article aims to offer an analysis of Chinese perspectives on US–China strategic competition. In the view of most Chinese observers, US–China strategic competition is inevitable because China is closing the national power gap between itself and the United States, while the latter resolutely upholds its global primacy. Other factors, including ideological disagreements, may fuel the major power competition that has extended to most aspects of US–China relations. Chinese observers believe that economic and technological rivalry between the United States and China has heightened and that the Western Pacific is the focal point of US–China strategic competition. Meanwhile, certain Chinese scholars attach greater importance to US–China competition over international prestige and leadership. However, Chinese analysts are not overly pessimistic about the prospects for US–China relations and have raised policy recommendations geared to managing US–China strategic competition and restoring a new equilibrium between the two major powers.
