If you follow the media, you will find that the US-China relation yoyos from worse to better and better to worse in the past few years while each is changing politically and economically. The recent change in US-China relation for the worse is worrisome to the entire world. The already complex relationship between the two giants is further compounded by the fierce Presidential election in 2016 resulting in a new US administration which prefers to play Trump cards in a no-trump game (bridge jargon). The US new Administration seems to disregard old game rules, conventional suits and existing contracts creating a great uncertainty in her China policy which is troubling and challenging China and bewildering the US allies. China, on the other hand, is gearing up more efforts interjecting her into global affairs while trying to maintain her healthy economic growth and keeping the U.S. at arm's length.
