Answer 2

In the late 19th century the major world powers, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Russia, began carving out spheres of influence amongst themselves in China.
The United States, not having a sphere of their own, wanted this to stop. U.S. Secretary of State John Hay sent diplomatic notes to all of these powers, asking them to guarantee the territorial and administrative integrity of China. The major powers evaded responding, saying they could not commit to anything until all the other powers had alleviated control first. However, Hay took this as acceptance of his proposal, which came to be known as the Open Door Policy. The Open Door Policy did suffer serious setbacks. The biggest setback to the Open Door Policy came in 1931, when Japan invaded and occupied Manchuria, setting up the puppet state of Manchukuo. The United States, along with other countries, strongly condemned the action but did little to stop it.

People’s Republic of China
For 30 years after its founding, the United States did not formally recognize the People's Republic of China (PRC). Instead, it maintained diplomatic relations with the Republic of China government on Taiwan, and recognized the ROC as the sole legitimate government of all China. Chiang Kai-shek, president of the Republic of China, suspected that the American CIA was engineering a coup. Chiang Ching-kuo initiated Soviet style military organization in the Republic of China Military. As the People's Liberation Army moved south to complete the communist conquest of mainland China, the American embassy followed the Republic of China government headed by Chiang Kai-shek to Taipei later that year.

Korean War
Any remaining hope of normalizing relations ended when the U.S. and the People’s Republic of China's forces fought directly against each other in the Korean War. Once the American-led United Nations forces counter-attacked and pushed the invading North Korean Army back past the North/South border at the 38th parallel north, the PRC undertook a massive intervention into the conflict on the side of the communists. The Division of Korea issue has had an important role in Sino-American relations ever since. The entry of the Chinese in the Korean War caused a shift in U.S. policy toward Chiang Kai-Shek's full blown defense of Taiwan from any aggression by the PRC.

Bush Administration
In the United States, the terrorist attacks greatly changed the nature of discourse. It was no longer plausible to argue that the PRC was the primary security threat to the United States, and the need to focus on the Middle East and the War on Terror made it a priority for the United States to avoid potential distractions in East Asia. The application of American power in Iraq and continuing efforts by the United States to cooperate with the PRC has significantly reduced the popular anti-Americanism that had been fostered in the mid-1990s.

Today
With President Barack Obama taking office on January 20, 2009, there are hopes for increased cooperation and heightened levels of friendship between the two nations. Obama visited China on November 15–18, 2009, to discuss economic worries over nuclear weapons proliferation, and the need to stem climate change.
