China-US Relations in the 21st Century
zài在 21shì jì世纪 ，měi guó美国hé和zhōng guó中国shì是shì jiè世界shàng上zuì最yǒu有yǐng xiǎng lì影响力de的liǎng两gè个guó jiā国家 。
In the 21st century, the United States and China are the two most influential countries in the world.
tā men它们zài在jīng jì经济 、kē jì科技hé和jūn shì军事shàng上dōu都yǒu有hěn很qiáng强de的shí lì实力 。
They both have strong capabilities in the economy, technology, and military.
měi guó美国shì是shì jiè世界shàng上zuì最dà大de的jīng jì tǐ经济体 ，zhōng guó中国yě也zài在kuài sù快速fā zhǎn发展 。
The United States is the largest economy in the world, and China is also developing rapidly.
liǎng guó zhī jiān两国之间yǒu有hěn很duō多mào yì贸易 ，měi nián每年chāo guò超过liù六qiān yì千亿měi yuán美元 ，dàn但yǒu shí有时yě也huì会yǒu有mào yì贸易zhēng duān争端hé和kē jì科技jìng zhēng竞争 。
There is a lot of trade between the two countries, exceeding 600 billion US dollars annually, but sometimes there are trade disputes and technological competition.
bǐ rú比如 ，zài在rén gōng zhì néng人工智能hé和xīn piàn芯片jì shù技术fāng miàn方面 ，měi guó美国hé和zhōng guó中国dōu都xiǎng想chéng wéi成为shì jiè世界lǐng xiān领先zhě者 。
For example, in artificial intelligence and chip technology, both the US and China want to be world leaders.
nán hǎi南海hé和tái wān hǎi xiá台湾海峡shì是zhòng yào重要de的hǎi shàng海上tōng dào通道 ，hěn很duō多guó jiā国家de的huò wù货物dōu都yào要jīng guò经过zhè lǐ这里 ，suǒ yǐ所以zhè lǐ这里de的ān quán安全hěn很zhòng yào重要 。
The South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait are important maritime routes; many countries' goods pass through here, so security here is very important.
měi guó美国hé和zhōng guó中国dōu都xī wàng希望bǎo hù保护zì jǐ自己de的lì yì利益 ，yǒu shí有时huì会zài在zhè xiē这些dì fāng地方zhǎn shì展示jūn lì军力 。
Both the US and China want to protect their own interests and sometimes show military power in these areas.
liǎng两guó国hái还zài在bù tóng不同de的dì qū地区yǒu有hé zuò合作hé和jìng zhēng竞争 ，bǐ rú比如zài在lā dīng měi zhōu拉丁美洲hé和fēi zhōu非洲 ，zhōng guó中国tóu zī投资jiàn shè建设le了hěn很duō多jī chǔ shè shī基础设施 ，měi guó美国yě也zài在zhè xiē这些dì fāng地方jiā qiáng加强hé zuò合作 。
The two countries also have cooperation and competition in different regions, such as Latin America and Africa, where China has invested in building many infrastructures, and the US is also strengthening cooperation there.
suī rán虽然zhōng中měi美yǒu有jìng zhēng竞争 ，dàn但rú guǒ如果tā men它们néng能hé zuò合作 ，shì jiè世界huì会gèng更hé píng和平 、gèng更fán róng繁荣 。
Although there is competition between China and the US, if they can cooperate, the world will be more peaceful and prosperous.
dà jiā大家dōu都xī wàng希望zhōng中měi美guān xì关系néng能dài lái带来gèng更duō多de的hé zuò合作 ，ér而bú shì不是chōng tū冲突 。
Everyone hopes that China-US relations will bring more cooperation rather than conflict.
