Pei argued that China wants to look like a leader at the summit by highlighting the extent of its stimulus package ($586 billion) as well as the relative health of its financial system. It worries that its long-term interests will suffer if the United States continues to print money. At the same, time, however, it does not want to take the lead in opposing American positions, so it will most likely serve as an intermediary between the Europeans and Americans lest anyone think that China is overreaching. Pei also noted that China feels "let down" by the United States because it has attempted, for the last 20 or 30 years, to emulate an economic system whose intellectual foundations have now collapsed.
