新华社记者：日前，美国前助理国防部长、资深外交官傅立民在东亚论坛上发表题为《华盛顿正在打一场注定会输的对华比赛》一文，指出美国试图通过不断升级“极限施压”来削弱、遏制中国。美国的军机和军舰总是在中国边界咄咄逼人地巡逻，但中国舰机没有出现在美国海岸；中国周围到处是美军基地，而美国附近却没有中国基地。美国如果继续选择与中国对抗，只会在国际上失道寡助。美国必须提升自身竞争力，建设一个有更好治理和教育，更加平等、开放、创新、健康和自由的社会，显然对抗不是通往这一美好愿景的方式，合作才是。中方对此有何评论？
Xinhua News Agency: Chas W Freeman Jr, former US assistant secretary of defense and a veteran diplomat, published an article on the website of East Asia Forum titled "Washington is playing a losing game with China". He wrote in the article that the US tried to cripple and contain China with an escalating campaign of "maximum pressure". There are US aircraft and ships aggressively patrolling China"s borders, but no Chinese aircraft and ships off America"s coast. US bases ring China. There are no Chinese bases near America. If the United States persists in confrontation, it will find itself increasingly isolated. The United States must renew its competitive capacity and build a demonstrably better governed, better educated, more egalitarian, more open, more innovative, healthier, and freer society. Obliviously cooperation rather than confrontation is the viable way to this vision. What"s your comment?
