Rising China has generated a power shift in East Asia. This study analyzes the strategic game between the US and China generated by China’s four-decade continuous rise. This article attempts to analyze the core and main characteristics of the Xi Jin-Ping government’s new foreign policy, focusing on the US-China strategic competition. First, I will examine in detail what changes and characteristics exist in foreign policy along with Xi Jin-Ping’s power. Next, I will discuss in depth what the policy implications of the “strategic competition”, which is the policy toward China, which is the most important US foreign policy, will be discussed in detail, and additionally, strategic cooperation will also be addressed. In addition, I will examine how China’s perception of the Biden administration’s policy toward China and its countermeasure strategy is emerging based on the recent Chinese policy. The Biden administration has vowed to adopt an approach to foreign policy that differs strategically and tactically from the previous Trump administration by placing democratic values, global engagement and coordination with allies and partners at the center of U.S. foreign policy, rolling back four years of an “America First” policy that privileged a transactional approach to diplomacy, and undercut the United States’ alliance relationships and its influence in international bodies. Despite the entrance of a new U.S. administration with a fresh vision, however, much of the global and regional strategic contexts remain largely unchanged from the previous administration, with U.S.-China competition looming large and likely to drive many aspects of U.S. foreign policy for the foreseeable future.
