中國大陸自 1980年代推動改革開放政策後，其綜合國力不斷提升，並導致國際社會之「中國崛起」現象。中國大陸傳統的對外思維，在鄧小平時代確立「韜光養晦」的對外政策，但習近平上台後，隨著「中國夢」願景展開一系列對外作為，已呈現出改為「積極進取」的新趨向。相對於美國對中國的立場，過去以採取「隱性圍堵」戰略為主，但自歐巴馬上臺後，已改為高舉「重返亞洲」大旗的「亞太再平衡」戰略。而中國大陸周邊各國對「中國崛起」感到擔憂， 2010年來紛紛向美國靠攏，強化與美國的安全關係，但其實是採取「雙邊押寶」的策略，即安全上依靠美國，經濟上則依靠中國大陸。然而， 2017年川普就任美國總統後，以其競選政見倡言重返孤立主義的外交政策，當可能更加有利於中國大陸在亞洲地位的鞏固。

After 1980’s, the Mainland China adopted the policy of reform and openness to result in her state’s ability increasingly constantly that raised the phenomenon of China rise in internationally society. Traditionally, the foreign thinking of Chinese Communism Party, in the era of Deng established the Conservative Policy toward the external world. But, the Xi-era came to power along the vision of Chinese Dream expanding; the Xi unfolded the strong position toward external world that would be not only to shape Chinese new diplomacy in the future or international structure of political economy profoundly but also to re-shape newly international order presently. In the China, from Deng-era to Xi-era that would seem to be the Conservative Policy gone away and the policy of more aggressive one would dominate seemingly. In the American position, it always adopt the strategy of “soft containing,” especially, the Obama’s government to uphold the flag of coming back to Asia. Relatively, those countries of the south-eastern Asia worry about the China rise so to close up the US for security after 2010. Those countries which in the periphery of China always take the “hedge,” namely, to rely on US in security and to rely on China in economy. However, after Donald Trump taking office in 2017, because of his isolationist tendency, it may be conducive to the consolidation of China's position in Asia.
