中美关系也走上了类似的道路，虽然两国定期进行战略经济对话（布什）和战略与经济对话（奥巴马）等对话，但国务卿希拉里·克林顿2010年7月在东盟地区论坛上的讲话显示了美国介入南海争端的新决心，明显改变了双边关系的基调，从合作转向竞争。奥巴马政府的“转向”或“再平衡”战略并没有帮助解决问题。中国在南中国海的军事化在习近平的领导下日益明显，也影响了中国-东盟关系的发展。中国松散的联盟--由俄罗斯、朝鲜民主主义人民共和国、老挝、柬埔寨和巴基斯坦组成--与美国的联盟--包括正式盟友澳大利亚和日本以及新伙伴印度--之间的竞争在印太地区非常明显。然而，在两国分界线两侧也开展了许多合作举措。在贸易方面，包括东盟、中国、日本和印度在内的区域全面经济伙伴关系（RCEP）就是这样一个冒险。在金融领域，亚洲基础设施投资银行是一个混合体，处于区域内和跨区域合作的中间位置。日本和美国置身事外，使其看起来像是联盟内部的合作，但它包括印度、东盟和所有主要欧洲国家。因此，不像冷战时期那样，以中国为中心的集团和以美国为中心的集团之间只存在竞争，也不像冷战时期那样，只在中国和美国各自的势力范围内存在合作。
Sino-US relations also followed a similar path. While the two countries regularly engaged in dialogues such as the Strategic Economic Dialogue (Bush) and the Strategic and Economic Dialogue (Obama), Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s speech at the ASEAN Regional Forum in July 2010, showing a new US resolve to get involved in the South China Sea disputes, clearly changed the tone of the bilateral relationship from that of cooperation to competition. The ‘pivot’or ‘rebalance’strategy of the Obama administration did not help matters. China’s militarization of the South China Sea, increasingly obvious under Xi Jinping’s leadership, affected the course of Sino-ASEAN relations as well.Competition between China’s loose alignment—consisting of Russia, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Laos, Cambodia and Pakistan—and the United States’ coalition—including formal allies Australia and Japan and new partner India—is conspicuous in the Indo-Pacific region. However, numerous cooperative initiatives are also undertaken across the cleavage lines between the two. In trade, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which includes ASEAN, China, Japan and India, is such a venture. In finance, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is a hybrid, situated in the middle of the spectrum of intra-and crosscoalition cooperation. That Japan and the United States stayed out of it makes it appear as intra-coalition cooperation, but it includes India, ASEAN, and all major European countries. Thus, it is not true that only competition exists between the China-and the US-centered groups, as was during the Cold War period, or that cooperation exists only within China’s and the United States’ respective spheres of influence.
