First of all, the long-term confrontation has ended and a new stage of bilateral relations has begun.
Since the late 1950s, the rift between China and the Soviet Union has widened. As far as the United States is concerned, it has gradually realized the failure of its foreign policy after more than 20 years of isolation policy towards New China. At that time, the United States was at a disadvantage in the hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union and had to consider improving Sino-US relations.
The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States has brought the two countries into a new period of development. While competing for hegemony with the Soviet Union, the United States lost a huge competitor like China, thus reducing the pressure of American hegemony.
Second, it has improved the strategic position of the two countries and changed the international strategic pattern, which is of great significance to peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
China is a big country in the Asia-Pacific region. The establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China and the recognition of the one-China principle have greatly promoted peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
Third, it is conducive to economic, trade, science and technology, cultural and financial exchanges and development between the two countries.
China is the most populous country in the world, while the United States is the most powerful developed country in the world, leading the world in economy and technology. The establishment of diplomatic relations through cooperation between the two countries can further promote the all-round development of economy, trade, science and technology, culture and finance.
Fourthly, China's international status has been greatly enhanced, which has set off an upsurge of establishing diplomatic relations with China.
Since President Nixon's visit to China, China has gained international recognition, especially from western countries. China has become a potential power in the eyes of all countries, which has set off a wave of establishing diplomatic relations with China.
