The end of Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union entirely changed the US-China relations. China’s economic growth and the PRC’s increasing significance in the world affairs granted to this country a new status: of the main partner of the States. Hence the US-China relations initiated to resemble, to some extend, the relations with the USSR in the past, although China’s policy in the world significantly differ from the Soviet one. Beijing to some degree challenges the USA, but promotes cooperation, not confrontation, as most advantageous for China’s economic development. The theory of hegemonic stability constitutes a very useful instrument to analyze these relations. It assumes that rivalry between the current hegemonic power and an aspiring one to play this role is the most important factor of changes in international relations. The American scholars and research centers see the People’s Republic of China as an emerging power in the US-China relations. There are three periods in US-China relations: 1 - from 19th century to 1972 when US recognized China as a political power; 2 - the years 1972-1989 when institutional and legal foundations of mutual relationship were established; 3 - the after-Cold War period during which a new formula of bilateral relations was looked for, to contain elements of both competition and cooperation.
