China has received little attention in the early stages of the presidential election campaigns, besides by a few candidates hoping to score cheap political points. Posturing, even if not meant seriously, creates needless suspicions and resentment in U.S.-China relations.

Moderating growth rates in the range of 5-7% per annum reflect the higher per capita income level and the changing growth paradigm in China. A modest slowdown is a necessary and healthy adjustment for China to transition to a new trajectory of more efficient and sustainable growth. But instead of greeting such a positive "new normal" with enthusiasm, the naysayers have reacted with dismay as though they would rather prefer the old growth model.

The Obama administration has delivered a warning to Beijing about the presence of Chinese government agents operating secretly in the United States to pressure prominent expatriates–some wanted in China on charges of corruption–to return home immediately, according to American officials.

The US’s self-proclaimed “American Century” has led Washington to assume that it “had the right or responsibility to order the world’s affairs,” two prominent American scholars, which has resulted in a series of military failed adventures that could never have resolved enormously complex issues. As the US presidential election approaches, a reality check is in order.

Western press has negatively portrayed China’s Draft Foreign NGO Management Law, framing it as a drive to purge Western values from China. This misses China’s broadening citizen participation and NGOs established by the 2011 NPC.

A controversial video filmed in Beijing’s Uniqlo, and subsequent media bonanza, is illustrative of the power that brands have on Chinese youth as a mode of self-actualization – and consumption of rebellion at a distance.

Events commemorating the 70th anniversary of victory will be opportunities for China to demonstrate its determination to safeguard peace and promote development in the world, unswervingly pursue peaceful development and strengthen mutual trust with wartime allies, including the US.

Last Friday’s U.S.-China women’s World Cup game recalled the 1999 final, which returned China-U.S. relations to equilibrium. Sport has always served diplomacy and built up patriotism, and China has placed more emphasis on building up its grassroots programs over the last two decades.
