Claiming US wealth helped rebuild China is simply ridiculous

For many, China's rapid development is an "economic miracle". Yet some in the United States claim that it is the US that has "rebuilt" China in the past 25 years. Suffice it to say such a conclusion is ridiculous.

Those people also argue that China's "currency manipulation" has helped it to build a huge trade surplus with the US, and claim the US' trade deficit is equivalent to the "wealth given by the US to China", and "China's success is largely driven by US investments in China". Such claims are not only a distortion of facts, but also an exercise in absurdity.

The "US rebuilding of China" theory, apart from exposing the arrogance, ignorance and skewed mind-set of such people, also reflects their deep-rooted "messianic mentality". No wonder the theory has won few supporters in the US, and has invited derision across the world.
