The US has repeatedly obstructed Chinese companies from entering into US domestic competition under the pretext of "national security". The US is gradually becoming reduced to an unreasonable country. Its lack of self-confidence is astonishing. Out of fear, the US is becoming oversensitive to China and even suspects equipment makers such as Huawei and ZTE. If China held the same state of mind as the US, it would search for substitutes to drive US products out of China … US and European countries must be told clearly that if Chinese companies encounter harassment, they should expect firms from these countries to meet the same treatment in China. … Protesting alone will be of no avail.

China's rise as a global competitor with America has pushed Mitt Romney and President Obama to compete over which one will be tougher on the Asian giant. Adding to the fireworks is a House Intelligence Committee report that finds Chinese telecom firms Huawei and ZTE pose a security threat … and should be barred from buying American companies. … China's rise is now "the fundamental problem of American foreign policy", former Nixon security adviser Henry Kissinger said last week. Or as former US ambassador to China Jon Huntsman put it, US-China ties are "probably the most complicated relationship in the world." … They have gained far more from co-operating than clashing.
