ABSTRACT
Along with China's rapid economic development, China's rise has received a worldwide attention in the early 2 1 '' century. Though a country's development is primarily due to domestic rather than foreign factors, favorable or unfavorable international conditions could affect the process significantly, particularly in an era of economic interdependence and globalization. As the sole superpower, the United States will have a prevailing influence over China's development environment, through various international forces organized by and around it. However, the competition between China and the United States is mainly in low politics . Confrontation and war between big powers can only result in mutual destruction. This is particularly true for China and the U.S . if they are fighting against each other. If China has to break up the chains of the constraints set up by the U.S . , China would have to develop ingenious diplomatic solutions and try to create favorable conditions for its peaceful development.
