“…Both parties state that their actions are dominated by national interests and their wish to secure the necessary financial resources for achieving prosperity. In reality, their actions spread the fear of an unpredictable and uncontrollable increase in the power of one of the parties involved, and that fear, according to «Thucydides"s Trap», threatens to lead them into conflict and expand the war worldwide (Yefremenko, 2020;Zhang, & Pu, 2019;Makarenko, Popovych, Pylypiv,…&Kotliar, 2021;Schislyaeva, &Plis, 2021).…”

“…Given the formation of the modern world that is consisted to a basis of the market economy, «Thucydides" Trap» elaborates on the economic power of countries as well as military power and countries gain or lose power in the world hierarchy through the economic competition that occurs between them, to maintain their interests (Yefremenko, 2020;Khalid, Eldakak, & Loke, 2017). "Thucydides" trap shows us that people continue to act in a similar to Ancient Greece"s way and as the historian quotes "until the nature of man remains the same".…”

Ancient Greeks have always tried to rationalize the causes of war and the lack of ethics amongst cities of the same country and regions from different countries.They have concluded that the will of "power" and "money" are the key elements leading to war. To be precise, they have concluded that the fear of a country"s possible power can also lead to hostility among nations. Even the try to characterize war as "just" shows that our comprehension of ethics has to be reformed. The phenomenon has not been extinguished in recent times as "power" and "money" are also considered the base of life and well-being that can eliminate all ethical decisions. Moreover, what is most worrying is the fact that ethical behavior is considered a disadvantage, a "disability" of nations, a means to "crash" and extinguish a nation that consists of ethical values. The monetary system of our times consists of that base and all the efforts taken to prevent money"s power have been turned down. Moreover, all these efforts have been characterized as "chimerical" and "utopian" something that consists only of the minds of idealists that have none to do with reality.

The bulk of academic studies characterize the contemporary U.S. – China relations as asymmetrical ones, in which the relations' agenda − a course towards ﬁnding areas of cooperation or emphasizing contradictions/rivalry − was set by Washington's policy towards China, with the latter being more of a reacting party. In this paper, I argue that one needs a further and deeper reﬂection on the current confrontation between the U.S. and China, in particular the reasons and circumstances of how and why the “Chinese dream” of a remarkable renaissance of the Chinese nation became an American nightmare, forcing Washington to opt for a containment policy against China. In this regard, I show the importance of tracing the dynamics of the post-Cold War development of the U.S. – China relations to comprehend the patterns and logic of the shaping of American policy towards China. The article also explains the evolution of U.S. – China relations in the post-Cold War period as determined by the presence or absence of a strategic basis in the U.S. – China relations, which implies cooperation between the two countries in stopping the external existential threat to the U.S. So, I conclude that the uniqueness of the current stage lies in the fact that, because of China's emergence as a strong global power and Washington's disillusions about China, China itself is beginning to be perceived by Washington as an existential threat, to stop which the containment policy should be applied.
