China visit a test to Kerry's 'gentle' side (2)

(Global Times)

However, there are a number of Chinese people who love the US. They are often the same people who lash out at the political system in China. This only enhances the alert stance Chinese authorities have toward the US.

A large number of Chinese believe the ultimate goal of the US government is to overturn the current political system here, just as many believe it did with the Soviet Union.

On the other hand, the US has been sensitive about Chinese moves. The US is anxious over China's economic growth as well as its military expenditure. China catching up to the US in terms of overall strength is also making leaders there uncomfortable.

Will this anxiety turn into real action to contain China? This remains uncertain. But many Chinese refer to the frictions between the US and China as signs of a US intent to move in that direction.

The development of Sino-US relations will have a major impact on the international relations in the 21st century. The key is whether the strategic mistrust between the two can be reined in or even dissolved. Clinton added fuel to the mistrust during her four-year term. We hope Kerry can pull it in the other direction.
