The relationship between the United States and the People's Republic of China is particularly relevant in the international arena since the rise of the Asian giant increasingly challenges the hegemonic position of the United States. The strategic competition between the United States and China is a reality and the bilateral relationship between both powers remains ambivalent, fluctuating between association and rivalry. In this context, the US Congress seeks an effective response to the "China threat" and increasingly influences how this relationship is conceived. The growing interference by Capitol Hill brings new dynamics to a bilateral relationship with China that is already tense and complex.
