Misreadings and misjudgments

Recently, some US scholars have once again suggested China's collapse, a pessimistic outlook on China that has been raised from time to time by Western academics or the media.

The forecast of China's collapse, which has alternated with a China threat and China's disregard for rules, is a result of their misunderstanding of the country.

China studies in the United States are focused on its politics and negative aspects of the country, including its social contradictions, human rights, ethnic conflicts, mass incidents, as well as issues related to China's Tibet and Xinjiang Uygur autonomous regions. It is easier for such research topics, which exaggerate China's "dark side" and draw gloomy conclusions, to gain subsidies from the government.
