El presente artículo es producto de una revisión bibliográfica, cuyo objetivo consistió en analizar los diferentes enfoques internacionales que explican la diplomacia comercial actual entre China y Estados Unidos desde las relaciones internacionales. Se aplicó el método de análisis, con un enfoque cualitativo, diseño no experimental, bajo un nivel documental-bibliográfico transversal. Tras la revisión documental se enlistan los elementos que le han permitido a China hacer frente a las restricciones arancelarias impuestas por el gobierno de Estados Unidos. Se concluye que la política proteccionista en la estrategia de gobierno de los Estados Unidos tiene un trasfondo geopolítico a favor de fuerzas “nacionalistas” y “americanistas” por recuperar el poder angloamericano.

China has drawn massive benefits via expanded trade since it acceded to the WTO in 2001. We might therefore reasonably expect it to have taken a more assertive lead in trying to rectify the travails in which the organisation finds itself mired, attendant with its rising power status, its active trade diplomacy elsewhere, the high levels of relative gains it has enjoyed since becoming a member, and its broader trade dependency. That China has not done so represents a puzzle, which is usually answered with reference to the international picture: i.e. that global trade has appeared to be holding up reasonably well throughout and beyond the global crisis, and, despite some inchoate protectionism, there generally exists a broad commitment to an open trading regime. Yet this only tells part of the story: China's approach cannot simply be 'read off' from the structural context and there are, in fact, a series of interesting domestic explanations for why China has remained a 'reluctant leader' of the WTO too. On the basis of a series of interviews with Chinese experts, we offer a more complete account of these processes that better recognises patterns of agency, and how China navigates a contingent international order.
