West should work with China

China is the most successful country led by a communist party to have given most of its people economic security and happiness, says an article by Eberhard Sandschneider, director of German Council on Foreign Relations. Excerpts:

China will gradually transform its economic strength into political and military influence, which will shake the West's feeling of superiority. Although the West knows China's stability is in line with its interests, it is yet to find the right strategy to deal or coexist with China. The West's containment and mollification policies reflect its lack of confidence, and are doomed to fail.
