The objective of this article is to explain how the United States took advantage of the Sino-Soviet divergences to approach Beijing not only within order to contain Moscow in Central Asia, but also to incorporate China into an international norm to open it to free trade and democratize it in an order that favored it. However, although in the international normativity that the United States guided, it was successful in the Soviet containment and the Chinese opening to trade, it failed to democratize in Beijing. Also, while the current US international order has benefited China in the economic field, now Washington faces the risk that the magnitude of Beijing’s interests will be aimed to promote a new international norm. The analysis is carried out based on the Constructivism of International Relations, focused on the norms and identities that emphasize the values of the dominant countries.Downloads
