Comment on "Seize the strategic moment" (China Daily Jan 19, )

I am learning Chinese in the United States and soon I will take up my job in China.

I have always seen China as a fascinating and mysterious country with an interesting culture, wonderful places and friendly people. I don't know why so many people are against China these days.

Rather than sailing against the wind, people should learn to accept and embrace China's rise because the world stands to benefit from a powerful China.
