CNN: Chinese government spokesman: U.S. has “sour grapes mentality”

As I mentioned in a post last evening, recent U.S. actions relating to China has Beijing thinking that a new Cold War has begun in Washington.

CNN reminds us that if it has, China places the blame squarely on the U.S.

While China devotes itself to improving people’s lives, some in the US habitually target China every time they speak,” Wang Wenbin said at a daily briefing. “This is in nature out of Cold War thinking, a zero-sum mindset and ideological bias — and a sign of lack of self-confidence.”

“We hope the US can discard this ‘sour grapes’ mentality towards China, and treat China’s development with a more peaceful and rational mind,” he added.
