description With the help of various corpus software, this paper reviews the adjectives and nouns used with high frequency by Chinese scholars when talking about China-U.S. relations from 31st August 2020 to 31st July 2021, i.e., a total of one year before and after Biden's inauguration, and the changes in the frequency of use, hoping to reflect Chinese scholars' perceptions of China-U.S. relations and how such perceptions have changed with the change of U.S. presidents. The authors find that Chinese scholars generally have lower expectations of China-U.S. relations, accepting the fact that China and the United States are strategic competitors and will compete in several fields, but still hold out hope for mitigation of China-U.S. relations and offer their own "prescriptions" from different perspectives. And with the inauguration of Biden as president, Chinese scholars believe that China-U.S. relations will remain stable overall compared to the Trump years, although Chinese scholars believe that the Biden administration's policy toward China will expose Beijing to more complex challenges.
