[Editor’s Note: On December 10, 2010, Qiushi Journal, the official publication of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, published an article examining six strategies that the U.S. has developed to contain China: a trade war, an exchange rate war, a public opinion war, an anti-China campaign, military exercises and simulated warfare, and the development of an anti-China alliance. The author also analyzed seven counter-strategies for China to adopt. The entire article is translated...]The original article in Chinese is here.
There are a lot of people in both the US and China who look at the future of the US-China relationship in zero sum terms. This article is certainly an example of that. I can only imagine what China thinks of us when John Bolton goes on Fox News to talk about China, but this article comes pretty close to informing us what it feels like when the Chinese version of John Bolton talks about the United States.
Read the entire article and think about it. Maybe I'm just a young optimistic fool, but in all seven counter strategies I see huge opportunities where mutual interests of the US and China align towards a mutually beneficial relationship, as opposed to the zero sum competition perspective articulated in the paper.
