Sometimes allies, often rivals, the two powers have a long history of brinksmanship mixed with diplomacy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProf. Ifay F. Chang, PhD, has a vested interest in US-China relations. As a first-generation Chinese American, he watches with concern as mainstream media delivers an almost nightly narrative of anti-China rhetoric. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUS-China Relations\u003c\/i\u003e collects a series of sixty essays written by Chang for \"Mainstream and Organic,\" a newspaper column also published online.
