The normal. China wants reunification with Taiwan, America likes an quasi independent Taiwan as an ally. Japan, South Korea security is a big issue for America, but China has territorial issues with either. Stability in Southeast Asia, keeping the South China sea open.
Overall, none of it really matters while everyone is making money. But China enjoys its preferential status as a developing economy while America wants it to increasingly play by the rules of a developed economy.
