Abstract: This paper attempts to analyze the logic and pathway the United States applied to establish a new empire system by referring to nonneutral international rules. The core motive of the American hegemony is maintaining the operation and management of the new empire system in order to gain benefits from hegemony by influencing the international mechanism and rules. The major concern of the American elite about China does not come from worries of a traditional hegemony state in the face of military challenge of an emerging power. Instead, they are worried about whether the rise of China will pose challenge to American authority in the field of institution on which the US relies to maintain its global governance, or, worse still, if China will become its competitor. Therefore, based on the current power of the United States and its development trend, the orientation of its longterm strategies against China is to effectively use and shape international rules and international mechanism to suppress China’s expanding influence with the purpose of downplaying the possibility of China becoming an institutional competitor in critical strategic regions of the United States as much as possible.
