Abstract: The paper begins with an analysis of the present situation of the “trust deficit” and how the neighboring areas mean differently for China and the United States. Then, from the perspective of the American strategic layout around China, the causes for the “trust deficit” are examined. The author holds that tremendous economic interests are the solid foundation for the US strategic return to Asia. And prevention against the rise of China politically and reinforcement of restraints on China militarily are the major causes for the US return to Asia. Based on this discussion, the author points out that the US politicalization of economy in Chinas neighboring areas and its political security strategy are important sources for Chinas “trust deficit” towards the United States. The roles of the neighboring countries related to the issue of SinoAmerican “trust deficit” are also analyzed. Finally, the paper raises several points that both countries need attend to in order to solve the problem of “trust deficit”.

Key words: “trust deficit&rdquo, between China and the United States , around China , strategic layout , comprehensive pressure

摘要： 本文首先梳理了中美两国“信任赤字”的现状，以及周边对于两国的不同意义，并以美国在中国周边的战略布局为视角考察了中美“信任赤字”产生的原因。本文认为经济上的巨大利益是美国在战略布局上重返亚洲的坚定基础，而在政治层面防范中国崛起，以及军事层面加强对中国的遏制则是美国重返亚洲的根本原因。在此基础上指出，美国在中国周边的经济政治化、政治安全上全面布局，正是中国对美“信任赤字”产生的一个重要来源。本文也分析了周边国家在中美“信任赤字”中扮演的角色。最后，在结论中指出了两国为解决“信任赤字”问题需要注意的几个方面。
