This article deals with the growth of China and the fear that it implies in the United States. China is becoming powerfull, in terms of education, economy, governance and energy and compete the United States. Therefore we can talk about the new red Scare, coming not from Russia, but from China. For instance, we understand that China is becoming a new green power, investing a lot in green energy, and that scares many American citizens. The journalists try to convince us that China is powerfull but it is not necessary to exaggerate the threat. Indeed, China’economy has also weaknesses. Moreover, it is dangerous for the United States to use this fear in order to implement laws. It is important to create new laws, such as those on green energy, being aware of their good consequences on the society and the future and no only create them in order to compete an other country.
