Why global powers are obsessed with containing China: 10-point guide

 
Here is a 10-point guide to understanding the rising fear of China.
 
New Delhi: Most global powers are now openly talking of containing China. This invariably comes with mentions of increasing cooperation with India as a counterbalance in the region. But how did the Asian giant go from an economic fairy tale to being referred to as a threat to the global order? Simply put, it refuses to play by the rules.
 
Here is a 10-point guide to understanding the rising fear of China:
 
1. China’s economic growth for decades has been driven by two things. One, adopting an export-oriented economic model that has made it the world’s factory. Two, infrastructure-driven domestic growth. Both these drivers of China’s economic growth have slowed down in recent years.
 
International markets for China’s goods are not growing – they have either saturated or are going through economic crises. And, there is little left for China’s huge construction sector to build at home. There are now more houses than people in China, and at least a dozen ‘ghost cities’.
