中欧国际工商学院经济学教授芮博澜(Dr. Bala Ramasamy)接受中新网专访时称，美国一再遏制中国，是为了阻止中国飞速发展的势头，因为它担心中国对其造成“更大威胁”。

The reason why the U.S. is trying to contain China is to ensure that China does not grow as fast as what it had been in the past, said Bala Ramasamy, professor of Economics at China-Europe International Business School (CEIBS), during an interview with China News Network.

Professor Bala pointed out that China-U.S. relations also depends on how the U.S. looks at competition. “If competition is basically only about winning, and if it doesn't matter how you win the game, then that competition may not be healthy,” he said.
