Why the U.S. wants to stop China from rising
A:
1、Imperialism. The US has to dominate every country in the world. The US cannot tolerate any country having the same esteem as the US is enjoying.
2、Racism. How can a no-white country develop? No way. They must steal our IP. Every Chinese is a spy.
3、Colonialism. China has a government of, by, and for indigenous people. Chinese are indigenous people in China. That’s not the rule-based order. The rule-based order only allows the colonialist countries, such as the US, to be developed. China was lucky not to have been genocided during the European colonialist power expanding all over the world, how dare it want to develop and prosper?
4、Chauvinism. The rule-based order only allows the US and its allies to be technologically advanced. The US doesn’t want China to be its ally and cannot tolerate China’s advancing technology.
5、Influence of the military-industrial complex. Tension and conflict with China can bring the military-industrial complex to a huge weapon market. The US can sell weapons to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Burman, Vietnam, India, and, yes, submarines to Australia.
6、Capitalism. China should be a source of cheap labor so the US can enjoy a post-industrial society in which every employee wears a white collar sitting in the office. What a wonderful world order of Made-in-China-consumed-in-America. Let China manufacture and the US only does the distribution of the goods such as marketing, retailing, and logistics.
7、New Cold War Ideology. Oh, my God, China is the commits, the new yellow peril. China’s rising is a threat. Preventing China from rising is the national security. China is spreading the communism that Europeans invented. Communism is so fearful.
8、McCathyism. Chinese do not believe in God. China is not a Christian country. So China must be bad, bad, bad. So bad that it is evil. If China is friendly to us, it is evil because it influences us. If China wants a fair trade, it is evil because it is bad. We want China to adapt to a market economy, and China did. But that is evil. Whatever China does or not do, whether China follows our instructions or not, China is always wrong. Only a dead Indian is a good Indian. Only a weak, poor, backward China is a good China.
All the reasons are self-justified. The US’ actions are always justified. If it is not justified, the US can make up a story to justify them, such as Hong Kong has no democracy, Xinjiang has genocide, the Chinese are repressed and oppressed in China, China is authoritarian, dictatorship, totalitarian, or just because China is China.
