Chinese care about their dometic issues much like Americans do. The difference is that Chinese don't blame others for their problems.

This may explain why Elizabeth Economy, director for Asia Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, said in an op-ed article: "We have completely lost perspective on what constitutes reality in China today."

China was never developed to go against any country; the logic of China's development is for resolving China's own problems.

China welcomes the American efforts toward resolving their own problems.

The success of US healthcare reform will bring stability to the global financial system, and recovery of the US economy would be good for China's exports. The settlement of the US domestic problems is good for bilateral relations.

The US should understand China's real intention, of the logic that its development is for resolving the problems of 1.3 billion people. To serve them is China's biggest contribution to the world.

Steinberg should listen to China more to avoid making China an excuse for the US's own problems.
