Abstract
The article highlights contemporary Sino-American relations in key areas of interaction. The main attention is focused on the analysis of the key reasons for the deterioration of bilateral ties, including the effect of the inevitable aggravation of contradictions and conflicts between the “outgoing” superpower (USA) and the new, rising one (PRC). The author explores the trade, economic, political and ideological tracks in the established “China – USA” model until 2012, and its evolution after Xi Jinping came to power in the context of China’s peaceful geopolitical rise, its technological growth, and the gradual transformation of the PRC from the “factory of the world” to the economy of high technologies. The article examines the key parameters of Sino-American relations with an emphasis on highlighting the results of the “trade war” of 2017–2021 and its development into “technological wars” of 2022–2023, features of the current agenda of the United States and China, including contradictions on the global economic recession, the problem of Taiwan, nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran, as well as the role of Russia and China’s position on the Russian NVO and the Ukrainian crisis.
