中美關系經過30年的磨合，逐漸找到了一條共處之道。簡言之，既不再對雙邊關系抱有 “不合實際的浪漫幻想”，指望一夜之間成為伙伴，也不再盲目悲觀，動輒以“戰略競爭對手”、軍事沖突相要挾。今天的中美關系正如“建設性合作關系”這一最新定位所顯示的，在共同利益處努力合作，擴展雙邊關系的基礎；在有矛盾分歧處，敢于面對并不怕相互指責。

years after establishing the diplomatic relations， China and the USA came to find a proper way to get along with each other. To be specific， they cease to have any impractical fantasy of becoming close friends overnight. Neither are they so pessimistic about their bilateral relations that they threaten to resort to force upon any party， the supposed enemy. Just as what we can see from the “constructive partnership relations” between China and the USA， these two countries are cooperating in the fields where they share common interests so as to improve their bilateral relations. They are willing to face instead of keeping on criticizing each other when they have got different opinions.
