| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 戰略暨國際事務研究所 === 104 === Ever since the end of Cold War in the 1990s, the United States has become the world's most important hegemonic country in political, economic, military and technological powers. After the "911 event" in 2001, the US government has committed to global anti-terrorism strategy. However, through more than eight-year international war on terrorism, particularly the wars carrying on in Afghanistan and Iraq, has seriously drained America's strength; in addition, the international financial crisis occurred in 2008 also directly damages and deepens the US economic and social problems; on the other hand, the success of China's economic reform has significantly increased its economic and military capabilities, and international influence. China has now gradually become a potential threat to the hegemony of U.S. During the period of Obama administration, the U.S. has proposed strategy of "Returning to Asia" or “Rebalancing" in Asia-Pacific region, with a desire to expand regional mechanisms and construction partnerships as well as to adjust its military deployment structure in order to achieve US strategic objectives. In response to the challenges of China's rise, there are many contradictions and differences exist between the United States and China, yet also with a wide range of common interests. The competition and cooperation relations between these two countries have severe impacted on US hegemony position in the region and its regional interests.
