Summary/Abstract |
China and questions about U.S.-PRC relations are now a topic that runs through the Trump administration, in terms of both domestic and foreign policies. In the 2017 U.S. National Security Strategy, Washington specified China as America's "main competitor" for the first time. In China's opinion, it has the right within the confines of a "trade war" to take such measures as protecting its domestic market and national economy, which do not contradict the norms of the World Trade Organization (WTO). China is still not ready to do what the United States did, i.e., capitalize its economic resources and structure, bring branches of the economy into the world division of labor, or create value chains while dominating them as widely and thoroughly as the Americans have. Elements of "trilateralism" are growing in relations between Russia, China, and the United States.
