Formation of an 'evil axis of ideology'

As regional and global leadership summits approach, a wolf pack of anti-China radicals are seemingly joining hands to attack China's exchange rate policy, political system and regional strategy.

Such attacks are bringing uncertainty and tension to the global economy, politics and security.

What these people are describing is not the real China. It's impossible for China to let its yuan exchange rate soar as the US requires.

For decades, China has insisted on common growth and peaceful coexistence. It is also cooperative and low-key in the international arena.

If these people still feel anxious, perhaps the only way they can take solace is from psychological aids.

Labeling China as a scapegoat for Western incompetence in fighting the financial crisis is not a creative move. By blaming China, some politicians are seeking to escape from their responsibilities.

These people are nationalists venting their anger to the media to win votes. Their anti- China public opinion alliance is gradually becoming an "evil axis of ideology" eroding world peace.

This "evil axis of ideology" advocates antagonism between powers and a new Cold War. What they urge is not negotiation and dialogue, but to bully and suppress rivals. History has shown that policies like theirs only lead mankind to an abyss.

Like a double-edged sword, excessive anti-China attacks hurt not only China, but also the West itself.

China will not prosper by merely copying a political model from the West.

Nevertheless, anti-China elements are misleading the public, making them believe that the West can reshape China with their model.

They think they can command China's economy with their own financial tools and isolate China by roping in a handful of allies. In fact, Western animosity toward China often puzzles the Chinese, because China has never provoked anyone.

Some Westerners believe that China should always adore Western powers. That it should never become a threat to the existing interests of the West but should share more responsibilities. That China should neither challenge nor compete with the Western order.

Anti-China ideology is poisoning the minds of Western people by claiming superiority as the world's aristocrats and rulers.

Excessive anti-China sentiment can only increase misjudgment of China by Western societies.

China will never take the initiative to stir up trouble. However, when provoking China, Western players will face uncertainty in its reaction. Letting the world lose a sense of stability is probably what the evil axis of ideology wants.
