Introduction
From the starting of the twenty-first century bilateral relationship between the worlds' two
countries, US (superpower) and China (rising power) is a controversial subject. From the
beginning of the century china stepping towards the world's next superpower after the US or
trying to grab the apex position of America in the world. In order to same, china putting all
afford in economic growth, and regional and global expedition of the country which is the
greatest threat for the American economy. Apart from economic growth and global expedition,
china also rising its powers in the defences sector, according to a study total expenditure on the
defence of the china will reach equal to America by 2035 (The Economist, 2013). The
desires of the one country are to maintain a superior position in the world and another country is
to reach the level of superiority or to be a superpower in the world are leading arising conflicts
between both the countries and these conflicts indicting for the cold war between both the
countries. This study covers conflicting issues of the countries, policy formation and role of

It is well known that China was a poor economical country and in the rapid growth of the
country, the US gave a significant contribution. Both countries share a harmonious relationship
from history. But the graph of the relationship between both countries is on the decline phase
since 2008 when the whole world faced a financial crisis (Chen, 2018). In 2018 the president
of China Xi Jinping has declared its objectives and mission of the country as defence
development to challenges the US and create Supremacy in Asian Countries, and to achieve this
objective china stared militarization and huge investment in advance weapons such as hypersonic
missiles (Martins, 2017). Second, create a positive and progressive environment within the
country and third, the country rejected liberalization policies, and commitment for intellectual
property theft with putting market restrictions for foreign trade (Scott, 2019).
In another side, to boost and promote American economy and manufacturing Donald Trump
advocates for the trade tariff deficit and from 2018, Donald Trump, the President of United
States started to create trade barriers and set tariffs on the china to change "unfair trade policies"
in terms of Americans (CFR, 2019). Although the trade tariffs deficit is a subject of debate in
the world, some economists believe that such trade deficit practices are tricky for the country's
economic whereas some economist supports these practices and seen as growth driving forces
for the American economy. And somewhat this trade deficit was necessary and inevitable for the
US because the country was consuming 30% world's production and the participation in global
production was only 13% till 2008 (Lin, 2018).
Trade war
To export maximization and reduction of import both countries, China and US imposed tariffs
into two rounds, first the courtiers imposed tariffs worth of US$ 34 billion on each other’s
products in July 2018, in the second US impose tariffs of 10 percent on the Chinese good which
