  6. Did you know China and India were responsible for producing more than half of all world GDP exporting products on high demand to the West long before the West became fully industrialised? Did you know that a big part of the reason why the US approached China at the end of the 70s was because the US wanted China to help to win the cold war with USSR? It is boring to read Westerners keep saying China's success was largely the result of direct Western investments, because this is a superbly ignorant claim, and it shows your serious lack of understanding of China and its history. China does NOT feel that it is entitled to global leadership as it is never China's aim you believe it or not, China in fact would never want to replace the position of the US and would be happy to continue seeing the US as the world superpower, because it actually could benefit a great deal from it and China also knows how costly it is to be in the position of the ''world police''. I am Chinese, so how I understand what China is doing is this: it is testing the Americans to see what its bottom lines are, to find out what the US' core interests are at the moment, would economical interests and benefits by continue to work and invest China greater than the need to contain China? The US will have to strike a balance, China wants to see how far would the US go to contain China, and how far would it still fancy to work with China, in my opinion, unfortunately, the US economy and population needs China now more than ever, and without China's help in supplying cheap goods and buying the US debts, your president could lose the election, so hence China's confidence, the confidence comes from the current economical strength rather than sense of entitlement, the later is a Western concept, China plays the long game, and would never get overly cocky for no good reason. And I can assure you China would never fall into this ''trap'', China still needs stability for its economical growth because this is the condition for its long term development, China has been patient for many many decades and there is no reason to change.
