Why do I always hear negative stuff from Americans trying to criticise the Chinese government, when our country has been peaceful and developing at a very fast pace all these years, whereas the US is having wars and trouble everywhere?
I just don't understand.
Why do they call us axis of evil, when the government is trying to develop good relationship with most countries now.
Why do they call us bad human right? when we didn't have any invasion against other countries, and most citizens in mainland, China are happy with the laws and regulative system?
Why do they say we are a threat, when we don't spend more than half of our budget like some country into our military expense? and when we haven't invaded anyone all these years?
Why do they say communism is bad, when it is working very well in China, and the overall development of China is thriving under the communist system?
Why do they say communism never works, when any idealism can't be 100% achieved, includin democ.

America hates all countries except for Israel which it just loves to butter up. America doesn't like the competition. 2 billion people seems to be a pretty big threat.

I can only tell you that unless you have lived in both places you can not make this statement. My wife was born and raised in mainland China and now is married to a white guy and lives in the USA. she as the others you talk about says she had heard all the stories about how bad the US is and can now tell you how much better it is in the US than in China. Don't be bitter yes you country is better than is was years ago but it has a long way to go. I lived in China for two years and saw with my own eyes how bad the people are treated. Call us fools if you wish but how many people are risking their life to sneak into China. If you are poor and come from a small village you will have a hard life and live in a country that allows big business to Poison your children and do little to those that do this.

It could be that most Americans have a poor impression of the Chinese government because they have a very bad impression of communism in general, (and Mao in particular,) and cross-cultural communication and understanding between the west and China is not always easy.
However, you are wrong when you say that China was listed as one of the "Axis of Evil." That was Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. Furthermore, you shouldn't assume that George Bush actually speaks for American opinion.
They accuse China of having a bad human rights record because it is true. They have limited freedom of the press, and many political prisoners, and a poor justice system. Go ahead, go down to Tiananmen square, on the anniversary of the rally, raise a banner and see how long it takes you to get arrested. That's why.
They say China's military is a threat because it threatens to invade Taiwan every time it twitches. What is more, is that the Chinese government doesn't have such a large army just because they think young men look nice in green clothes, it is because they can envision a situation where they might want to use them. So if a country has a big army, it is because they are thinking about doing something. And don't bother saying it is for defence at this point, because nobody in their right mind would invade China right now.
They say communism is bad because it isn't working very well. That is why you currently have the "special economic zones" and have a "dual system" side-by-side capitalism and communism. Right now 70% of China's GDP is in the private (capitalist) sector, and the incredible growth you speak of is occurring in the capitalist portion of the economy - the state-run portion still lags behind. So to say it is thriving under communist system is untrue.
Finally, they might be spooked because Mao was so insensitive to his own people's suffering, and so illogical in his actions. "The Great Leap Forward," "The Cultural Revolution" were frightening times that led to millions of deaths, (70 million people, during peacetime) for no reason.
The fact that this still isn't discussed openly in China warns Americans that such things could still possibly be repeated.

Because the American Government feels threathen by the Chinese. China is also a super power and it is acheiving milestone and all the while the Americans is playing big brother to many countries around the world and wants to stay that way, see ? In fact, it wants to be seen soon like a Don, a god father to other countries. All because of its greed to be known as the most powerful and is free to dictate whatever it wants.

Self center and when happiness and contentment with same old way of thinking and doing without recognizing the fashion of war time thinking has been the lenses for thinking, then what need would there be to discuss the pattern and just part as agreeing to disagree.

Maybe it's because you live in the urbanized areas of China, so you don't really see the poverty. Communism favours the rich and powerful, as seen from recent history. But I feel that all in all, it's just a clash of 2 very different political systems.

could it be the reason because Chinese (PLA) had hacked the computer system of the Pentagon recently? and also in London (if am not mistaken).
one more thing, the recent failure of the Chinese government to have a thorough inspection of products for imports (eg. imported toys from China; etc).
I never heard US calling China as axis of evil, but I heard North Korea is one!

Do you work for the Chinese goverment?
You forget China's invasion of Vietnam about fifteen years ago, not to mention the Korean war.
China is one of the only countries with state-sponsored infanticide, execution of public officials, and numberless differences to free countries.
Simply, I would be jailed for stating these obvious facts if I was a chinese citizen.
