Since the second decade of the 21st century,the theory of institutional checks and bal-ancing has become one of the leading theories of US foreign policy especially US policy to-ward China in the post-Cold War period.From the perspective of the US national security strategy,it can be seen that successive US Administrations since 2001 have imposed more and more restrictions on China,and the strategy of institutional checks and balancing to China has undergone a transformation from inclusiveness to exclusivity.The Bush administra-tion adopted an inclusive institutional balancing strategy aimed at incorporating China into the US led international system.The Obama administration adopted a mixed and inclusive system of checks and balancing with China in its policy of hedging against China.The Trump administration mainly used the domestic laws and systems of the United States to exercise exclusive institutional checks and balancing against China.The Biden administration,on the other hand,has established a"small circle"system of exclusive checks and balancing against China.It has implemented institutional checks and balancing against China in the high-tech field,and tried to delay China's high-tech development to some extent,but it has also encouraged China to build an independent and complete high-tech production chain as much as possible.It also has a"backlash"effect on the US high-tech industry and domestic economy.The US policy of institutional Checks and Balancing against China cannot funda-mentally change the trend of economic globalization.
