The rise of China based on what?
If we look at GDP, it basically tripled under Bush, and then doubled again under Obama. It definitely wasn't due to left leaning politicians, it was happening regardless.
From what I understand a lot of China's growth is kind of manufactured. It was going to happen because of China's influences, not America's.
I think the big difference is that right wingers complain about China, while having absolutely no real solutions to fix any of it. And left leaning politicians try to make it less of a deal, because they probably don't have any real solutions in this particular case either.
