Hayden: China’s Not an Enemy of the U.S., No Good Reason for Them To Be an Enemy

‘The Chinese over the past several years have been acting, from my point of view, very un-Chinese’

RUSH EXCERPT: 

HAYDEN: "Frankly the Chinese over the past several years have been acting, from my point of view, very un-Chinese. My last couple of jobs I had insight how they thought strategically. Frankly, it was a thing to behold. Patient, strategic, nuanced. Now the Chinese over the past several years have been very nationalistic, very much pushing outward. I think they are doing it because the legitimacy of the party is a bit threatened by the slowing down of economic progress. So in that sense, pushing back against Chinese I think is a good thing. But katty, I think in every speech I make with regard to China with a sentence that China is not an enemy of the united States of America and there aren’t any good reasons for China to become an enemy of the United States.
