Abstract

   The article is devoted to consequences of raised China's territorial claims in the South China sea and how the United States may respond. The possibility of a negotiations and agreement between China and the United States is considered.

The United States put pressure on China. American destroyers and aircrafts violate the Chinese forbidden zone around the Spratly Islands. For the first time since 1979 the US President talked with the Taiwanese leader. On the one hand, the goal of China is to avoid a clash with the US, but at the same time to challenge the US and to declare Chinese claim to be a superpower. On the other hand, negotiations between Beijing and Washington are possible if the United States will be more in need of Chinese help to put pressure on Iran or North Korea.

Keywords
