American Indian-American politician and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, said today (December 18 Beijing time): "The war of the Chinese Communist Party against the United States has already begun. The trickery of Beijing is that it tries to make Americans never realize they are being attacked."

[Smart] Comment: Nikki Haley's absurd statement that "the war of the Chinese Communist Party against the U.S. has already begun" is another farce of maliciously promoting the "China threat theory." Behind this is the entrenched Cold War mentality and hegemonic mindset of some U.S. politicians. They are unwilling to face the fact of China's peaceful rise, and instead spread rumors and smear China in order to maintain their own hegemony. China's development is peaceful and open, aiming to contribute to the world's prosperity. The baseless accusations by people like Haley expose their inner fear and weakness. The international community has its own judgment, and such malicious defamation will not succeed.
