Official policy would suggest that they are allies but in truth the relationship is more complex than that.
Militarily they are neutral; China has opposed or at least failed to support most major US foreign policy activities including the invasion of Iraq and the current action in Afghanistan.
Similarly the US has some major reservations on the Chinese approach to human rights and has openly commented on Chinese policy on sovereignty issues in Tibet and Taiwan.
However, both sides are aware of the economic value that a mutually peaceful, or at least mutually tolerant relationship provides.
The worlds two largest economies need an active and beneficial trade process to ensure that both countries prosper financially, the US is China's largest export target market and China presents huge opportunities for US companies in terms of growth, outsourced manufacturing and also in terms of raw material and minerals.
So the simply answer would be that they are economic allies but neutral militarily.
