Abstract
As has become evident, China’s significant (post-Cold War) rise belongs to the most fundamental constitutive processes in the evolving international system of the 21st century. The reaction of the hegemonic United States to the Chinese increase in capabilities and influence (which might once enable China to potentially become a regional or even global U.S. challenger) – not to say Sino-U.S. relations in general – remain thereby crucial for the further course of the Asia-Pacific, world politics, and the world economy. Regarding the scholarly, public, and policy debate on this so significant relationship between ascending China and the hegemonic United States, one finds the discourse strongly shaped by two IR grand theory perspectives on (future) superpower ties: neoliberalism and neorealism.
