| Normalization of Sino-US relations is an important event that shocks the world at that time, which makes the world’s governments and people doubly concerned. However, Sino-US relations are not a sudden accidental move. Its causes, formation and influences, are the inevitable result of the international development. This paper tries to explore the political factors of normalization of Sino-US relations and the resulting impacts on the world political situation from this historic law, thus has more in-depth knowledge and understandings of the significance of the normalization of Sino-US relations, especially the historical objective trend from bipolar structure of US-Soviet hegemony to today’s multipolar structure.From the process of historical development, the normalization of Sino-US relations results from the formation of Triangle US-China- Soviet Union relations in the world’s political unrest. In the changing world political situation after World War II, the new China goes onto the world political stage. But the US-led Western countries start to take a hostile attitude towards the socialist bloc countries. Its blockade and siege make the new China facing many difficulties and challenges of domestic international imperialism, inevitably forcing it to start a close alliance with the Soviet Union against the United States. However, the alliance of China-the Soviet Union results from ideological consistency, similarly ideological split makes them confront. The relative strength of China is still relatively weak, as a result, they choose to have contacts with the United States and contend for Soviet Union, which are its strategic needs of national security and economic development. China is a country with a strong sense of autonomy, although having close contacts of US, but it will not be subordinate to the United States; Sino-Soviet split make sided to the Soviet Union gone, thus the Soviet Union and US to China are not overly so. For the US-Soviet hegemony, whatever China is close to one of them, inevitably having a significant impact on the other. China has played a pivotal role in forming the triangle relations of China-US- Soviet Union.Normalization of Sino-US relations relationship is a very difficult and complicated process. In a constantly changing international situation, the first is to comparison of the strength of the world, the normalization of Sino-US relations will be put on the bilateral agenda.

Absolutely, it includes the factors of US-Soviet hegemony, China- Soviet Union confrontation, the US and China’s internal affairs, and world turbulent situation. However, the basis of mutual interests of both sides make the normalization of Sino-US relations will inevitably be achieved. The normalization of Sino-US relations is of great significance to both the United States and China.Worthily noted, the normalization of Sino-US relations has great impact on the world political situation, forcing it to make adjustments in the right direction, ensuring world peace and promoting international political, economic and cultural development. Specifically, firstly, it weakens the power politics, US-Soviet hegemony has been difficult to achieve; secondly, it eases US-Soviet relations, making world politics continue to stabilize; Thirdly, China adheres to an independent principle, no longer playing US or Soviet Union cards; forth, it makes a great contribution for peaceful and developing situation; Sixth, it ends the Sino-US bipolar structure, and begins the world multipolar trends and sustainable development.
