U.S.-China Relations in the Age of Trump

Signs are emerging that suggest that under the new Trump Administration, the norms and guiding principles that have characterized America's relationship with the People's Republic of China since the 1970s may be called into question. During previous tense moments in the bilateral relationship, adherence to the core principles has served as a source of continuity and stability over four decades. With new tensions rising over issues such as the status of Taiwan, the trade relationship between China and the US, and the apparent military buildup in the South China Sea, how will US-China relations fare over the next few years? What will be the ramifications if these principles no longer cement the relationship during both good and bad times?
