Your right they believe this in China but I guarantee they know very well how things work in the US; perhaps even better than many members of the US peanut gallery. They know the economics of currency valuations, US Treasury debt, trade imbalances, foreign currency holdings, tax duty regulation, etc. Better than 90% of our elected officials based on their related decisions and comments over the years. I believe they know exactly how it works which is why the Middle East issue is causing additional clamp downs in China.
