Why does anybody see China as a threat?

Q: Why does anybody see China as a threat?

A:

China is the only country that can have a political system that unifies a population of 1.4 billion. No political system in human history can unify a civilization of such a huge population. The Chinese political system has unified China for two thousand years already, while the EU is yet to struggle with it.

Those who view China as a threat believe in the theory of Western Realpolitik. The Western view of international politics is based on power. For thousands of years, European politics has been hegemony or imperialism. That’s the political structure China used before 720 BC. After 700 BC, China invented another international political structure called the Proper Governance. For two thousand years, China has held the Confucius doctrine of the Proper Governance as the optimal political structure. Hegemony and imperialism were outdated in China for two thousand years already, however, hegemony and imperialism are still the norm for the West. The West never conceived the idea of Proper Governance. They speculated about the behavior of China according to European history.

Western culture is a monotheist culture whose idea of government is based on fear or terrorism. They view China as a threat based on their own behaviors.
