US politicians misleading public with China bashing

At a recent China town hall held by the New York-based National Committee on US-China Relations, Susan Rice, the former US national security advisor, said China remains the most reliable whipping boy - after probably Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice herself.

She expressed that US policymakers and leaders need to be more judicious on how they deploy China in US domestic politics, adding that a lot of heated rhetoric applied to China makes US policymaking difficult.

She might be just joking comparing herself and Clinton with China, but the admission by a former senior White House official about China bashing is quite telling.
