The world today is facing great political changes and order reconstruction, one of the most obvious manifestations of which is the Northeast Asian region. It is true that the gradual disintegration of the Cold War system over the past 40 years has brought significant progress in the development of interstate relations in Northeast Asia and a historical opportunity to democratize international relations, but it is undeniable that significant and long-term issues such as historical perceptions and conceptual knots left over from the Cold War are still diffused among the countries in Northeast Asia, triggering a butterfly effect with Western countries coveting the geostrategic value of the Northeast Asian region. The most obvious focus is that China's peaceful rise has caused a shift in world power from the West to the East, and some Western countries, led by the United States, see China's rise as a great threat and are trying to unite with their allies in a global siege of China. The central theme of the changing world landscape and order is evident in the intensifying competition between China and the United States. As a land and sea power, China's geopolitical challenges come from all directions, not only on the Korean peninsula, but also in Taiwan, the South China Sea, and countries in China's neighborhood, and the national interests at stake in these regions and countries are complex and closely tied to the United States. In China's efforts to catch up with the developed world, there is a significant structural contradiction between China's interests and the U.S. hegemonic protection. The greatest threat to China's future geostrategic planning and development is the U.S. hegemony and its political repression and strategic containment of China's rise. Historically, geopolitical problems have never been solved overnight. From a prudent political standpoint, it is time to “abandon illusions” and reassess the future direction of U.S.-China relations.
