I have absolutely zero bias regarding China. I am simply speaking of the facts as they are, as opposed to as you (or I) might wish them to be. Dealing with reality is not biased. Avoiding and evading reality is. I do not argue the Chinese have not plundered western intellectual capital for decades- and very successfully. Nor do I argue that on its rise 'the west' was any more principled or compliant with the dictates of previous empires. Look at history and Britains seizing and plundering of India and many many other nations- look at The Opium Wars!, and look at Americas establishment upon the murder of indigenous Americans and subsequent hegemony over the 'Banana Republics'. Rising Empires are bold and confident and ignore the property rights of legacy holders- this is how they rise! You, like Trump, are just a sore loser and cannot deal with what is happening and I have some sympathy for that, but it is a biased and tragic head in the sand position to take and does not protect or preserve your best interests- it endangers them. I too live in a western liberal democracy and my position is also potentially substantially undermined by what is trending - but denying what is happening never prevented history from following its course.
