According to reports published May 15 in "Global Times," American conservatives have been constantly making noise on Sino-American relations in recent days, some creating so-called "Chinese spy" hype, others shouting about the Renminbi issue in order to put pressure on China. The fact is that conservatives have not been happy about the relatively steady Sino-American relations since Obama became president, according to Chinese experts.
Professor Jin Canrong from the Chinese People's University commented on the 14th in an interview that since Obama became president, Sino-American relations have been steady. During Hillary Clinton's visit to China, she did not mention the country's human rights issues; furthermore, Obama’s support of reforming military projects have reduced the likelihood of conventional warfare against Russia and China. All these events have been to the dissatisfaction of conservatives.
At present, economic cooperation is emphasized the most in Sino-American relations, according to Jin Canrong. This makes the U.S. military feel marginalized, causing them to often produce some disturbance to merit their existence and value. Since the end of the Cold War, the United States military has been doing this for over a decade. Confrontations such as those in the South Sea and the Yellow Sea have been created. Normally, this collision between China and the U.S. occurs frequently; it is a game being played between two big countries. These collisions were not supposed to be publicized, but the U.S. military did so for the purpose of causing tension.
One article in the latest issue of the magazine "Foreign Affairs," titled "The G2's Mirage," says that the United States President Obama's foreign policy group only spent one month establishing its China policy, even though more cooperation is needed on certain issues. But some American conservatives have another kind of attitude about it it.
