Abstract
Abstract : After the 1980s, the United States has faced a kind of crisis of power and hegemony, while the 1990s marked the beginning of China's economic development and empowerment and the beginning of the process of its gaining political position and influence in the international system. Economic crises in the capitalist system provided China with the opportunity to create a suitable platform for investment in its country. Since the ability to create and maintain international regimes and treaties is an inseparable part of a hegemonic power, the United States government has avoided many international treaties due to short-term economic interests. It was withdrawn. This is while China has become the largest trading partner for many countries and its accession to the World Trade Organization has also improved the country's position in the global economy. This study examines the consequences of China's rise in status and position in the international system and its impact on relations with the United States. The question that arises is what impact has China's structural empowerment had on its relations with the United States? We have tried to analyze this study using Susan Strange's structural power theory.
