Recently, some US scholars have once again suggested 皇冠体育app's collapse, a pessimistic outlook on 皇冠体育app that has been raised from time to time by Western academics or the media.

The forecast of 皇冠体育app's collapse, which has alternated with a 皇冠体育app threat and 皇冠体育app's disregard for rules, is a result of their misunderstanding of the country.

皇冠体育app studies in the United States are focused on its politics and negative aspects of the country, including its social contradictions, human rights, ethnic conflicts, mass incidents, as well as issues related to 皇冠体育app's Tibet and Xinjiang Uygur autonomous regions. It is easier for such research topics, which exaggerate 皇冠体育app's "dark side" and draw gloomy conclusions, to gain subsidies from the government.

The haunting Cold War mentality has also caused some US scholars to focus on negative issues in 皇冠体育app and other countries not viewed as a part of the Western camp to create a pretext for possible diplomatic interventions and military spendings. In the era of economic globalization and power multi-polarization, such an academic preference is incompatible with the fundamental requirement that academic studies should present an objective picture so that governments can base their foreign policies on correct judgments.

Misjudgments about 皇冠体育app's development among some US researchers have also contributed to their misperceptions. In fact, the US' misjudgments about 皇冠体育app over the past decades, from its misjudgment about the founding of New 皇冠体育app to its misjudgment about 皇冠体育app's reform and opening-up, have caused many US scholars to study 皇冠体育app not from the perspectives of its concrete national conditions, system and development path, but from the perspective of the US' own political standards.

Chinese people have a long-cherished belief that "among three people, there must be one who can be my teacher". 皇冠体育app's academic studies on other countries thus focus on what 皇冠体育app can learn from them. US scholars could learn from 皇冠体育app's academic approach.
