The US Strategy to Maintain Hegemony and the Future of China-US Relations
Zhao Minghao
The US hegemony is in relative decline compared to its post-Cold War dominance. The US seeks to renew itself to maintain its hegemony, which is closely linked to the strategic competition with China. The renewal of US hegemony aims to systematically repair and strengthen its material, network, and ideological power. It poses risks to China and a significant challenge to the trajectory of China-US relations that should not be taken lightly.
The Evolution of US Indo-Pacific Strategy and China's Perception and Strategic Response
Ling Shengli
The US has transformed its Indo-Pacific strategy from a concept into a reality with a growing international impact after three terms of US administrations. The Indo-Pacific strategy has intensified the China-US strategic competition, worsened the security situation in the Asia-Pacific region, and harmed regional cooperation, with all kinds of strategic blockades against China. China's perception of and response to the strategy are of particular importance.
The De-Risking Strategy of the US and the EU Toward China and Its Impact on China
Ke Jing
President von der Leyen proposed that the US and the EU align on a de-risking strategy towards China, focusing on critical supply chains, economic coercion, export controls, and technology standards. As the US and the EU converge, skepticism lingers on achieving de-risking goals, yet the potential to disrupt China's development environment is undeniable. It is necessary to delve into this evolving dynamic and emphasize China’s need for global partnerships and open trade strategies.

The "New Washington Consensus" implies the wave of "bringing back" Hamiltonianism and represents the consensus the US strategic elite formed based on the shifts in the US domestic interest groups' structure and social ideology. The consensus outlines the primary direction of America's future economic strategy. The US departs from the free-market ideology by intervening in the market with state power to outcompete China, which poses severe challenges to China.
New Developments of the Biden Administration's Climate Diplomacy and Its Constraints
Zhang Yuhuan
More than two years into its implementation, the Biden administration's climate diplomacy has left its imprint on global climate governance and low-carbon transition. It has somewhat restored international confidence in the US, repaired America’s global image, and reshaped the country's influence and leadership in international affairs. However, domestic and external challenges cannot be ignored, and the US strategic competition against China is likely to severely restrain the two countries' climate cooperation in the international arena.
New Trends of Global Climate Governance and China's Response
Hu Bin & Dong Wenjuan
With political consensus on carbon neutrality, competition for global climate governance has focused more on establishing climate-related regulations and green standards and the dominance of green industrial chains in the economy, science and technology, trade, etc. China should participate in and proactively lead the formulation of green rules and collaborate with all parties to promote global climate governance to build a community of shared future for mankind.
