No one is claiming that the US helped China out of pure benevolence. However, one of us seems to be claiming that the US did not help China, or that China would be the economic behemoth that it is today without the US
In this Orwellian world, where Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia, it's easy to understand why China is hostile to the US. However, in the real world, it is not easy to understand why China is hostile to the US.
The thing is that while nobody is denying the important role of US for the development of China, neither did anyone forget what your nation did before that, you had us cut off from the half of the world. (the other half was also cut off after sino-soviet split just a few years after the new founding of our nation) You refused to acknowlege our existence when we needed recognition the most, you hit us when you see fit and you "help" us when you see fit (with your interest). It is only fitting when China treat you the same way, help you or hit you according to our interest, and as long as you play against the multi polar world order you will always be against our interest.
You know, "consequent actions" is what China has been preparing for all those decades until today (and beyond). There was never any trust between China and USA as its between nations. just the trust of the need of making profits, that was the only thing we might have common interest in and nothing more. The bombing of chinese embassy, the collision with your spy planes, your pivot to pacific and all which is happening now are the confirmations which are consolidating the resolve of chinese. (And of course also your actions in middle east and now eastern europe) But if you stay away the least we could expect is that our relationship wont go below the "distrusted but most important buisness partner", and there wont be further risks of any conflicts. If you want to come and knock at our doorstep it would be your decision to make those risks real.I am also sorry to hear this, because it means that no matter what the US does, China will regard it with hostility. That is China's prerogative, of course, but it should not be surprised if this generates mistrust on our part, and consequent actions deriving from that mistrust.
But seriously sooner or later the US has to open up its eyes and see the cost-benefits in overextension, wherether you win or lose battles at some point you would have to retreat back to your region, and the longer it takes the more distrust and costs you will get.
