US scholar: Strong China not a security threat – Xinhua

From Xinhua:

A stronger China does not mean it becomes a threat to the United States and the Asian country’s rapid development is to the benefit of the whole world, including America, a US scholar says.

Michael Swaine, an expert on US-China military and security policy at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a leading think-tank in the United States, paid tribute to China’s rapid growth.

“It is to the benefit of the world, to the benefit of Asia and to the benefit of the United States for China to be continuing to grow, to expand economically, to become more prosperous, to become, as a result hopefully, more stable and more involved in the international community,” Swaine told Xinhua in a recent interview.

“I myself don’t believe that if China is becoming a larger power with more capability, … it by definition becomes a threat to the United States,” Swaine said.
