Edit: The only thing we should be sorry about is leaving all those countries in the middle east. We shoulda nuked and paved their asses along time ago.
The global financial crisis created the Great Recession in America, Europe, and most of the world. Meanwhile, China’s economy continued to grow at a nearly double-digit rate. This has reinforced China’s conviction that its system of a market economy tightly circumscribed by political and civil society controls is superior to unfettered free markets, free trade, and open societies.
America must raise its sights to the horizon beyond the diplomatic knife fights with Beijing over currency rates, weak UN Security Council resolutions on Iran, and other crises of the day. While dealing with these matters, we must develop a long-term strategy to address the challenges of a rising China and its alternative world view. China is not America’s enemy. But it is a worthy competitor. We need to engage China and work to influence history’s arc so China’s rise does not come at the expense of American interests.

America's 'Plan' to Destabilize China
At the same time that their confidence, even arrogance, grows towards the outside world, China’s leaders also are deeply insecure. As Professor Susan Shirk wrote in her book China: Fragile Superpower, “China’s leaders are obsessed with what they call ‘social stability,’ in other words, the prevention of large-scale unrest that could bring down the Communist regime.” All authoritarian regimes have tenuous legitimacy, but China’s rapid economic growth has created further acute stress. China’s leaders have ample reason for their concerns. For while 300 million Chinese are beneficiaries of their economic miracle, 1 billion have been left behind. And these mostly rural Chinese, still living meager lives, are increasingly aware of these economic inequities.
Furthermore, there is growing discontent over menacing social problems such as rising pollution, rampant corruption, soaring unemployment, poor health services, food safety, drought, worker safety, Internet censorship, and numerous other transgressions real and imagined. One expert has said that in China there are over 200 protest demonstrations every day.
