Simple, people are living much longer. Failure to pass a budget to balance the structural deficit and address the elder care and promised standard of living, plus the perennial wars that depleted treasury, the congress and everyone need to find the public enemy number one. China has been the punching bag for almost 200 years since 1840 (before the two world wars, rise and fall of Communism and McCarthyism). After demonizing it for so long, China's reputation is worse than Jew's reputation in Germany prior to the holocaust. It is not just politician, think-tanks, media outlet or pastor, even 6-year old kids already understood from bottom of their heart that Chinese and Chinese Americans are detestable, threat to their well-being and living standard. Even Chinese scholars and most Chinese American bought in the myth that China was probably "manipulating the currency" and "accumulating outsized U.S. Debt".
The Jimmy Kimmel show has to go to air before people learning of the truth of national debt and understand that Japan already came back to be the number 1 foreign debtor of U.S. national debt. There's simply no evidence supporting the widely publicized allegations.
This was eerily like back in 1870s when the racial hatred and Chinese Exclusion Act was being prepared. It is hard to believe that Congress passed an apology for the century of discrimination only in 2011.
