Why would they do that? The current ruling cohort of China (ages 40-55) came of age during the apex of western hegemony and became rich and high status off of riding the coattails of the west (i.e. looting privatized state assets and asset bubbles and parking the money in the west and offshore tax havens).Cancel the trip of that EU fascist. China need to have some self respect. Stop appeasing these sinophobes.
China will never have self-respect until the country has a violent purge of compradors and would be compradors. Nor will the west stop trying to plunge the country into anarchy and poverty. Peace was never an option.
The ruling elite of China will continue to beg the west to stop humiliating them to no avail. They will continue to "negotiate" (i.e. give concessions) because they still benefit from this system (for now) and because cowardice and submission are ingrained in their mentalities from the circumstances of their upbringing. One can only pray that the younger cohorts who do have some self-respect and confidence take over faster.
