Abstract

This paper outlines the cooperation and confrontation between the Chinese and American in the 21st century. Based on the basic principles of ecology, it discusses the economic development strategies of China and the United States in terms of the principle of ecological niche, the characteristics of interspecific relationships, and the principle of symbiosis. It is pointed out that economics’ benign competition actually does not conform to the basic definition of competition in ecology. Competition is when resources are limited, the ecological niche of species overlap, there will be competition. The essence of competition is to harm each other. At the same time, competition will lead to the synergistic evolution of species and reach to a symbiotic state. The essence of the “table menu theory” of the U.S. is actually predation among different species, not competition. The U.S. takes the world as a food chain, which violates the basic principle of species diversity. China and the U.S. are complementary in the multiple industries, and it is important to advocate China and the U.S. to return to the symbiosis policy. This is in the common economic interests of the two countries, also beneficial to economic globalization and prosperity in the world.
