China wants to do buiness with us, not hurt us. Where do people get these crazy ideas????
Well, because China does want to hurt us. Americans have a much shorter view of time than the Chinese. As a culture they are quite capable of taking a longer term view than we are. They see us as a rival to be conquered in asia, if not the whole world. Today they want to sell us stuff, tomorrow they want to dominate us in the way that we currently dominate them and most of the rest of the planet.
