It's only good for the west, for the rest of the world it's been a catastrophic failure. When you harvest most of the world's wealth because the system is designed to favor you then of course you'll think it's good for "the world". The same fatigue the west feels about immigrants is the same fatigue the rest of the world feel about western domination. It has had its run but it has to come to an end, the world has to re balance itself.
Imagine if Trump had been president of the US in the 1990s or the 2000s? Scary. I'm glad China has grown powerful enough to check him and give the rest of the world an alternative.

In a way, that pathetic display is very revealing of how these Anglo elites operate and how they can keep failing upwards.
Basically, whenever they encounter a real formidable adversary, be in internal or external, they just fall back on their privilege and connections and call in favours to have the opponent fired. For internal rivals, it’s super easy, just a call to HR and they will sort it. For external rivals, they basically pull the bullshit they tried on Li, where they make baseless accusations and kick up a fuss and refuses to negotiate until their rival is removed.
This is feudalism. This is no different to the Australian government gifting its citizens retirement funds to US arms companies to do what they will.
Chinese would have lynched all involved.
Lynched like in Meng Wanzhou case? Don‘t be naive. In every country, elites play a different game than the plebs.
Holy shit it's working. Germany companies are handing over their operational and supply chain information to get a hit of that sweet sweet REE.

If the Germans want to complain they can go to the USG who also asked similarly invasive questions of Chinese firms when sanctioning Chinese tech companies. What’s good for the Chinese should be good enough for the west.
My take is anyone who submits to US that easily can also submit to China easily too when the correct pressure is applied, so that's how it is. It can't be just the US benefiting from weak government who don't protect their industry, that would give US too much of an advantage in trade war.
Xi's been telling EU countries over and over that you need to have some strategic autonomy but nobody was listerning.
He can change his middle name to Notacuck so people won’t mistaken him for the other one.
