Publishing Tough Stance on 'Bossy' US Shows Adjusted Posture: Times

China's quick publication of a senior diplomat's "strong dissatisfaction" with the U.S. following a bilateral meeting shows it no longer tries to contain the opinion of its society "fed up with the bossy U.S." and that it holds no illusion that China and the U.S. will improve ties soon, the Global Times said in an editorial after Vice Minister Xie Feng criticized the U.S. rhetoric in a meeting with Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman. The U.S. should abandon the idea of changing China's system and policies through sanctions and containment, the newspaper said. The U.S. must accept that China has developed faster and the trend of its economy exceeding the U.S. is irreversible, the official newspaper said.
