Abstract

Trade relations are one of the important pillars of the relationship between China and the United States. In recent years, the economic trade relations between the two countries have traversed a path of conflict and tension. Considering that China's rise to power is considered one of the most significant causes of economic conflict and tension between China and the United States, the aim of this article is to examine the impact of China's rise on its economic trade relations with the United States. Therefore, this study answers the question of how China's rise has affected its trade relations with the United States during the years 2008-2021 through an analytical and explanatory approach and data collection using the method of historical studies. The underlying assumption is that China's rise to power has caused the United States' concerns about the challenge to its global hegemony, leading the economic trade relations between the two countries during the years 2008-2021 to shift from cooperation to competition and tension. The findings indicate that the economic and trade tensions between the two countries in the years under study have significant relevance to the issue of competition in the global power arena in political and international domains. The current trend in the relations between the two countries has turned the issue of tension and mutual distrust in Washington and Beijing into a normal routine.
