Summary Annotation China and the United States, two massive economic and military powers, cannot avoid engaging with each other. Enjoying what is often termed 'the most important bilateral relationship in the world', the two sometimes cooperate, but often compete, as their interests come into conflict. Both countries are separated not just by the Pacific Ocean, but also by their very different histories, experiences, societies, customs, and outlooks. Non-governmental, unofficial relationships and exchanges are often as important as formal dealings in determining the climate of Sino-American relations. For several decades in the mid-20th century, Chinese and Americans were virtually isolated from each other, trapped in icy hostility. Chinese scholars are now making up for lost time. These essays, most by mainland Chinese academics and students, focus upon the role of culture in Sino-American affairs
