View China's role in the world fairly

What has China's development brought to the world? It's not a difficult question, but the United States has recently answered it in an absurd way. Some American observers think that what has come with a rising China are economic aggression, geopolitical expansion and damaged international rules. This is now taken as the official line of the US government. US President Donald Trump said on Sept 17 that Chinese practices "plainly constitute a grave threat to the long-term health and prosperity of the United States economy". On Oct 4, Vice-President Mike Pence attributed China's economic success largely to "American investment in China", saying the US rebuilt China over the last 25 years. But that is not true.

Driver of global growth, not economic aggressor

In his speech, Pence accused China of carrying out "economic aggression", saying China has used "an arsenal of policies inconsistent with free and fair trade" that "have built Beijing's manufacturing base, at the expense of its competitors - especially the United States of America". He alleged that these actions of China have contributed to the huge trade deficit with the US and urged China to change the "unfair" practices.
