Rules which inherently undermine our domestic economy and create "interdependence".

General Chi Haotian, Former Defense Minister, Head of the PLA, put it rather plainly just last year how much they scorn this U.S. day dream:

"One time, some Americans came to visit and tried to convince us that the relationship between China and United States is one of interdependence. Comrade Xiaoping replied in a polite manner: “Go tell your government, China and the United States do not have such a relationship that is interdependent and mutually reliant.”

Actually, Comrade Xiaoping was being too polite, he could have been more frank, “The relationship between China and United States is one of a life-and-death struggle.” Of course, right now it is not the time to openly break up with them yet. Our reform and opening to the outside world still rely on their capital and technology, we still need America. "

Go tell your government, China and the United States do not have such a relationship that is interdependent and mutually reliant.”

Its a larger version of this old saw, 'my wife is married, but I ain't'.
