1.In the name of “strategic rebalancing”, the United States places considerable weight on the “eastward shift” of its strategic focus to the Asia-Pacific, fighting hard for geopolitical interests. Taking advantage of China’s territorial disputes on the sea with neighboring countries, the US has offered substantial support for countries such as Japan, the Philippines, and Vietnam. While dumping arms in the neighborhood, the United States has tried to sink China in a mess of conflicts with its neighbors, and thus disrupt the process of China’s peaceful development and rise;
2.Taking advantage of its dominance on the Internet and playing on such influential values such as “democracy, freedom, human rights”, as well as contradictions in China’s social transformation, the United States has been cultivating hostile forces in and outside China, conducting subversion and permeation in China, interfering in China’s domestic affairs, trying to channel the devastating tides of the “Arab Spring”, and sabotaging domestic stability and the safety of state power in China. Such ploys include recalcitrant insistence on double standards in anti-terror campaigns, and refusal to repatriate terrorism suspects of the “East Turkistan” movement to China;
3.The US has also intentionally created market disintegration in the Asia-Pacific by means of the so-called “high-standard and high-threshold” Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, scrambling wildly for market shares in the Asia-Pacific, and trying everything possible to elbow China out;
4.In the name of coping with global climate changes, and on the pretext of sharing “big-country responsibilities”, the United States has repeatedly urged China to accelerate its shift toward a “low-carbon economy” and to accept compulsory obligations of reduction in greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible. The goal is to raise the cost of China’s development, weaken China’s competitive advantage, and slow down China’s economic growth;
5.Taking advantage of its military, and particularly its maritime hegemony, the United States has been suppressing China’s military modernization, strengthening the deployment of its own naval and air forces in the Asia-Pacific, containing the development of China’s blue-water navy, and misleading China into the trap of an arms race;
6.Taking advantage of its rhetorical hegemony, the United States has been denigrating China’s development mode and political regime, debasing China’s international image, all in a bid to label China as an “alien” and throw China into political isolation.
