Well China, like most of Asia, is clearly in the economic camp that thinks a positive balance of trade is good. Many economists in the USA claim it is not. AFAIK, the arguments that a negative balance of trade is not a problem largely rest on claims that it will balance out (in free market conditions) which IMHO is equivalent to saying that negative balances are not good. If negative balances are good, then one should not appeal to claims that they will reverse at some point and balance out as justification for not considering them negatives.
