US should stop manipulating perceptions
Birds fly near the US Capitol at sunrise, on Capitol Hill in Washington, US, in this Feb 8, 2022 file photo. Departing from his predecessor Barack Obama's policy of viewing China as an "important partner" of the US, former president Donald Trump, during his first year in office, identified China as a "strategic competitor" and "rival" of the US in the 2017 National Security Strategy, marking the beginning of a more confrontational US approach toward China. In May 2020, the US State Department released the United States Strategic Approach to the People's Republic of China, raising US-China "rivalry" to an ideological level by asserting that competition between the two sides spans political, economic and societal fields. By simplifying and distorting the historical context of the Taiwan question, the poll has used the term "invasion" to garner the support of respondents, further deepening American people's misconceptions about China. Unfortunately, under the prevailing narrative of "US-China strategic competition", the current political environment and public opinion in the US does not objectively reflect China's intentions.
