When you read Chinese articles you see that the Chinese fear a U.S. encirclement and American hegemony.
When you read things that Rumsfeld is famous for quoting you see a defense policy that basically does encircle China and presumes them a threat.
Personally I think both countries through paranoia are creating a self-fullfilling prophecy. China builds up as it fears encirclement and American hegemony while America seeks to encircle China as it fears Chinese power growth.
