Global Times published an opinion article based on a book by Yang Bin titled, “The Hidden Economic and Financial War of the United States.” Yang is a research fellow at the Institute of Marxism, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

“The study indicated that the U.S. government’s China policy often fluctuates between softness and toughness. Behind the apparent erratic changes lies the ‘carrot and stick’ psychological warfare strategy. The strategy can produce a strong psychological shock in opponents and cause internal disagreement and conflict within international opponents. It is just like iron and steel which are, hard as they are, not afraid of direct impact, but cannot withstand repeated bending and will break due to a lack of flexibility. The study argues that China should alternate between ‘toughness and softness’ to respond to the U.S. "carrot and stick" two-pronged strategy. Regardless of whether the U.S. takes a soft approach to lure China or a hard approach to intimidate China, China should not panic, but remain clear-headed, and deal with it calmly. According to a 2010 U.S. public opinion poll, most Americans do not support Obama for re-election. The next president is likely to take a tough foreign policy, or even intentionally perform ‘irrational madness’ to promote U.S. interests. China should be fully prepared for U.S. foreign policy to change from a soft to a hard approach."

On July 1, 2011, Xinhua published an article titled “What is the Real Intention of the United States’ Show of Concern about ‘Freedom of Navigation’ in the South China Sea?” The writer of the article argues that “freedom of navigation” in the South China Sea has never been a problem for the United States. The real purpose for the United States to come back to the area is to obstruct China’s freedom of navigation in the East China Sea. “The old Western sea control theory is to ensure their own freedom to use the waters, and obstruct others’ freedom of use. … The ‘freedom of navigation’ proposed by the United States is in fact the substitution of a concept (for the real one), which does not reflect ‘freedom of navigation’ in international law. Instead, it reflects the old Western sea control theory of ‘Control Power’ over the sea.”

“After the Vietnam War, the United States was forced to withdraw from Southeast Asia. The U.S. lost two military bases in the Philippines, the Clark and Subic bases. Now the United States has re-proposed the ‘Philippine-US Joint Defense Treaty’ in the name of protecting its allies and is discussing a return to Clark and Subic. … This military deployment will affect China’s national interests such as freedom of navigation.”

China Business Times published an article on July 4, 2011, blaming the United States for adjusting its policies in order to attract wealthy Chinese immigrants and drain China of all of its wealth. “Many people believe that it is an America’s conspiracy to attract wealthy Chinese to the U.S.”

“According to the ‘2011 China’s Private Wealth Report’ issued by China Merchants Bank, 60% of the individuals in China with a high net worth, i.e., those who have 10 million yuan ($US1.546 million) in individual assets, are not only considering emigration through investment but have almost completed their immigration process. According to the article, among those who possess over 100 million yuan (US$15.46 million), 27 % have already emigrated overseas, while 47% are considering leaving China.” The article continued, “A non-profit organization ‘Global Financial Integrity,’ ranked China as the top exporter of illicit capital in the world, having exported US$2.18 trillion between 2000 and 2009. Based on China’s huge population, the average outflow of illicit money from China is US$1,600 per Chinese.”
