Then there is the moral question. Are you comfortable with wanting more than 1.4bn Chinese — many of them still poor — to get poorer? Demand and investment from China is critical to countries in Africa and the Americas. Do you want them to get poorer as well?

@pstAsiatech Many in Washington clearly need to seek a psychiatrist. When your biggest lifelong goal is to sabotage China’s economic growth, you are mentally sick, bigly.

@pstAsiatech The correct question for western policymakers is not even “How do we manage the rise of China?” It should be “How do we manage ourselves alongside China’s inevitable rise to achieve win-win?”

@pstAsiatech China is not seeking growth. It is seeking domination and subjugation over other countries. Xi forced the world to defend themselves. You are nothing more than Xi's proxy.

@pstAsiatech The West wants and always wanted to help the poor ones, to keep them poor. (Africa, India, South America,...)

@pstAsiatech On the contrary, it is a goal for the aggressive west just like the war in Ukraine. The western empire's goal is world domination.

@pstAsiatech The west is infected with crippling self-doubt. It thinks it can only succeed if others lose. The more it invests into harming them the less capacity for internal reform. And when efforts to cripple others fall short, it will have lost twice

@pstAsiatech It is the mindset of racism, imperialism and colonialism.

@pstAsiatech When did West worry about growth rate of any country except their own? Do they bother about growth rate of Vietnam, Korea or India. It is always about what is in their interests and what seeks for their voters. Why China is special?
