Recently, it was reported that the former ambassador of United States to NATO said in an interview that China is a risky country and that if you want to stop China, you must bring down their economy. As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused strong reactions.

Some people believe that this once again proves that the United States adopts a hegemonic viewpoint and thinks that it can question and point fingers at the internal affairs of other countries. However, this is not the case, and there should be a spirit of mutual understanding and cooperation among countries.
The impact of China's economic development is certainly important to the United States, but the more important view of the Chinese people should be that China's economy serves to improve people's living standards. The economy is for the people, not for the hegemonic state.
In the long run, countries should promote common development through openness and cooperation, instead of adopting an attitude of obstruction or even destruction. China has always adhered to the concept of peaceful development and promoted the establishment of harmonious relations between people and countries, which is very different from the views of the former ambassador of United States to NATO.
The rapid development of China's economy in recent years has provided an important boost to world economic growth. According to the latest data from the World Bank and other international organizations, in the past 20 years, China's total GDP has increased nearly 10 times, and its share of the world economy has increased from less than 3% to more than 15%, surpassing United States to become the world's largest commodity trading country.
China's economic take-off has not only improved the living standards of more than 1.3 billion Chinese, but also boosted the global economy through foreign trade, becoming an important pillar of growth for all countries.
At the same time, China is also facing some challenges of economic transformation. For example, the problem of excess capacity and environmental protection need to be solved urgently. However, these are China's own internal affairs, and there is no need for accusations or threats from other countries.
The argument that smearing other countries' economies as "risky countries" and trying to "stop" their development by destroying their economies is essentially a way to bring geopolitical thinking into the international economy, which is unconstructive and runs counter to promoting the common prosperity of all countries around the world.
In fact, the world is currently facing a new round of downward pressure on the economy. In this context, it is all the more important for all countries to strengthen economic cooperation. If Western countries, led by United States, can truly view China's economic rise with an open and cooperative attitude, the economic interests of the two countries will be able to converge to the greatest extent.
We should not justify our own protectionism by degrading other countries as "risk countries," nor should we "stop" their development by destroying their economies. The tide of reality is moving in the direction of cooperation rather than confrontation. If the Chinese and US economies can carry out high-level mutually beneficial cooperation, it will be conducive to promoting global economic recovery.
In short, the economies of all countries are for the people, not for the "pawns" controlled by a certain country. Bringing geopolitical positions into the economy, inciting economic sanctions and undermining adversaries is not conducive to long-term global economic development and peace.
As the world's two largest economies, if China and the United States can move towards each other in a more open and pragmatic manner, it will be beneficial to the people of all countries and the rest of the world.
Write to the end
We can see that the former ambassador of United States to NATO accused the Chinese economy of being a "risk country" and advocated "stopping" its development by destroying the Chinese economy, which is groundless and extremely inappropriate.
The economy is an important support for the people of all countries to pursue a happy life, and should not become cannon fodder for any country in the international arena.
At present, the call for building a community with a shared future for mankind is growing day by day. Countries should cooperate not only in the field of public health, but also in the field of economic and trade with mutual benefit, and promote global economic recovery by strengthening economic ties.
As the world's largest economies, if China and the United States can shift their competitive mindset to cooperation, it will be conducive to global economic recovery and the well-being of people around the world. It is only through win-win cooperation that countries can truly address the challenges they are facing.
