Abstract

The paper looks at the superpower transition of the 21st century. The research aims to determine causes of tensions that are present between the U.S. and China. To achieve the aim, the research firstly detects the level of satisfaction with overall international order from both of the sides involved. After determining satisfaction, the research looks at points of tensions that have the most implications within the relationships of the two superpowers. The results demonstrate that China feels dissatisfied with the international order and the main point of tensions, including the military aspect, is Taiwan.
