During the George W. Bush Administration, U.S. and People's
Republic of China (PRC) foreign policy calculations have undergone
several changes. President Bush assumed office in January 2001
viewing China as a U.S. "strategic competitor." The White House
faced an early test in April 2001 when a PRC naval aviation jet
collided with a U.S. Navy reconnaissance plane over the South China
Sea. But after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, U.S.
officials came to see Beijing as a potentially helpful ally in the
fight against global terrorism, while PRC officials saw the
anti-terrorism campaign as a chance to improve relations with
Washington and perhaps gain policy concessions on issues important
to Beijing, such as on U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. At the same time,
the PRC was undergoing a substantial leadership transition to a new
generation of younger officials. This, plus the U.S. anti-terrorism
agenda, helped lead to a new sense of optimism and stability in the
U.S.-China relationship that continued to prevail throughout the
108th Congress.
