    Could you point out where you're talking about that?

    The only two instances of the US being said is

    美国

    美国政府

    Which is America and American government respectively

    in the first post:

    美万

    方, meaning direction. In this instance 美方 meaning "the American Side". Similarly, 甲方、乙方 are used in legal documents meaning Party A and Party B.
