A Neo-realist American China Foreign Policy

The paper approaches the future trend of American China policy. It first traces back to American foreign policy at different stages. Then it turns to the in-depth study of American China policy and the future of American China policy. The United States' foreign policy has a direct impact on many aspects of the development and the future pattern of the world. To predict the future China policy that the United States will adopts is beneficial for China to make a right choice at a right time. How China will develop and what a status it will take in the future world is conditioned by American China policy. American China foreign policy has changed with the rapid rise of China. While the United States benefits from China's development, it tries to curb China's rise. Containment and cooperation are still the keystone of American China policy. The possibility that China and the United States will have violent conflicts is less and less as the two have had stable diplomatic relations for over 30 years and China seeks common interests with America in many sensitive issues. The future of Sino-US relations is hopeful.
