历史交织，格局初现 中美经济关系从冷战结束后逐渐紧密。那时，美国占据全球主导地位，借助国际组织和联盟巩固其地位，中国则在这一框架中逐步崭露头角，经济规模从90 年代的边缘位置迅速跃升，成为世界第二大经济体。两国的贸易往来在此期间得到了飞速增长，1990年时双边贸易额不足50亿美元，到2000年突破1000亿美 元，形成了一种相互依赖的局面。美国企业大量投资中国市场，依托中国低廉的劳动力成本生产商品，再将这些商品运回美国销售。这样一来，双方均从中 获益，但也为未来的矛盾埋下了隐患。 2008年全球金融危机爆发时，美国的经济遭遇了重创，公共债务激增，从9万亿美元飙升至14万亿美元，制造业的岗位也急剧流失，超过200万岗位消失。危 机导致美国经济增长放缓，很多企业倒闭或进行裁员。而与此同时，中国则通过大规模基础设施建设和出口导向型政策，保持了较为稳定的增长。中国政府 推出的4万亿元刺激计划帮助经济维持了9%以上的增长率。这一过程中，展示了两国应对危机的不同路径：美国选择了通过金融救助来应对，而中国则注重 实体经济的复苏。 进入2018年，贸易摩擦加剧，美国对数百亿美元的中国商品加征关税，而中国也及时采取了反制措施。 ...
