Chinese diplomacy vs US (1)

This may be difficult to sum up the entire relationship between this two countries. But a brief introduction between them is a good perspective to unveil the world drama. Since the meltdown of the USSR in the late 90s, the shattered Russia transformed to a vulnerable country under the ruling of Boris Yelsin. Its influences falter from the military and economics side. This is what Ronald Reagan achieved to crack the Siberian bear down without firing a bullet. This seems straying away from our focus of China and US.
Actually this is not. It is politically correct to find an foe or a liable one to unite the nation so as to divert the local problems or build an alignment of goal. China is supposed to be the next big player in the foreseeable future. It is of US interest to curb what would likely to come to establish as a formidable challenge. Everything was or might be on the plan after inauguration of George w. Bush.
This may initially rise up as the hurdles for China's road to prosperity. The 911-atrocity, however, alter the strategy of what was originally pinned down. The foremost enemy of US is no longer China but terriorism. (to be continued...)
