Abstract

As a rising power with a global outlook, China has been regarded as a potential model for the developing countries in the 21st century. Yet, the United States is still the solo superpower as widely recognized. Given that the world's two most important countries now race for their own influences globally, it is critical for both sides to find as many ways as possible to keep lines of communication between them open. The reasons are self-evident since knowledge brings mutual understanding. The lack of reciprocity breeds suspicion, miscalculation, and both hot and cold war. There is no assurance that the two nations can always be best of friends, but there are indeed the potentials of a vigorous partnership. Truly, ignoring each other and the Thucydides trap can be our undoing by working together to concede our differences offers hope not only to the citizens of both countries but to the whole world who are affected by the Sino-US relationship.

Özet

Küresel bakış açısıyla yükselen bir güç olan Çin, 21. yüzyılda gelişmekte olan ülkeler için potansiyel bir model olarak görülmektedir. Ancak yaygın görüş, Birleşik Devletler'in hala tek süper güç olduğu yönündedir. Dünya’nın en önemli iki ülkesinin, kendi etki alanları için küresel düzeyde rekabet halinde oldukları düşünüldüğünde; her iki taraf için de aralarındaki iletişim kanallarını açık tutmaya yönelik mümkün olan her yolun denenmesi önem arz etmektedir. Bunun nedenleri açıktır, çünkü bilgi karşılıklı anlayışı da beraberinde getirir. Mütekabiliyet eksikliği; şüpheye, yanlış hesaba ve sıcak ve soğuk savaşın her ikisine de neden olur. Her iki milletin sürekli iyi dost olmalarının bir teminatı olmamakla beraber, aslında etkin bir ortaklık potansiyeli taşımaktadır. Doğrusu, birbirini göz ardı etme ve Thucydides tuzağı felaketimiz olabilir, birlikte çalışarak farklılıklarımızı kabullenmek sadece her iki ülkenin vatandaşlarına değil, Çin-Birleşik Devletler ilişkisinden etkilenen tüm dünyaya umut verecektir.
