#2This reads like propaganda for the Chinese state. Remember that they're a dictatorship where public servants aren't allowed to practice a religion and citizens are punished if they draw too much attention to negative views on the Party.

#3It is funny how some people consider high intensity military conflict to be inevitable between the US and China when the cost of aggression is extremely prohibitive on both sides. Technological advances and trade connections have made it so. Of course there will be people who raise the analogy of pre WWI Europe to suggest that close trade connections do not necessarily preclude war. Yet the devastation resulted from that war should give anyone who thinks such a conflict is desirable pause.

Also, don't forget this is something that they tend to do (see the Confucius Institute), have the money, and that journalism in the US is hurting for money.
