Be alert to multifarious theories of 'China's responsibility'
0 
Since the start of the global financial crisis, some Western politicians and media have frequently put forward various theories on China, with almost all of them focusing on "China's responsibility."
Generally speaking, this new round of fabricating theories on "China's responsibility" can be classified into two categories.
The first one is to extol China openly and describe the country as "the savior of the world" due to her good performance in the financial crisis, while the second one is to blame China for a world trade imbalance, which they say is the main cause of the global financial crisis.
Whatever the tone, these "China's responsibility" theories carry the same unreasonable logic of some Western countries, which is to shift their own responsibilities and pressure and seek their own interests while blocking the development of China.
The multifarious theories on China, either extolling or criticizing China, have the same untold purpose of encouraging China to shoulder more undue "obligations and responsibilities."
On the one hand, some Westerners are in fact demanding China shoulder more responsibilities by praising China's sound economic performance.
China should "bear more responsibilities" or even "save the world" because she is the biggest emerging economy and has abundant foreign reserves, they exclaimed, asking China to make more concessions on trade and investment, climate change and energy exploitation.
On the other hand, some other Westerners are trying to shift their own responsibilities by criticizing China.
It's well known to all that the global financial crisis broke out first in developed countries, mainly due to excessive financial derivatives in Wall Street, failed monetary policies and the imbalanced international financial system.
However, some Westerners have always been hawking their theories of "China's responsibility" by making indiscreet remarks or criticisms on China with the goal of concealing the main origin of the crisis and casting in a bone between China and other developing countries.
In the final analysis, China's rapid economic growth and rising comprehensive national power has secretly troubled some Westerners.
With the guidance of the Cold-War era ideology, this group of Westerners has always tried to magnify China's responsibilities, press China to shoulder duties beyond her capability and impede China's development.
China, the biggest developing country and a responsible member of the international community, has the priority of tackling her domestic issues first and not to make trouble for the world.
The smooth and rapid growth of the Chinese economy itself is contributing a lot to the recovery and development of the world economy.
Based on that, China would seriously fulfill international duties in accordance with her capability and push forward the establishment of a more just international economic and financial order.
Westerners should talk about "responsibilities" with a just and objective attitude, examining their own conscience and seeking the cause in themselves on the responsibilities of the financial crisis and the recovery of the world economy.
Otherwise, it's unfair.
