Owen Harries, Editor-in-Chief of the American magazine National Interest, once said that Americans, for many years, hold "a pendulum swing of alternating attitudes, now romanticizing now demonizing China".

To study carefully these changes will be of great significance for a correct mastery of the world situation and a better understanding of the policy orientations of the Western world toward China.
