So what can the West do? Start Opium War 3? BTW, China's trade balance is not nearly as skewed as the article implies if China's import of services is properly counted.
Just as western culture celebrate monopolist billionaires and tells the poor to pull themselves up by the bootstraps.
The west just need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, because China has no reason to leave them any scraps, nor does western culture believe China should.
China might believe in an equal world, and China should treat those who shares this belief as equals, but the west believes in a feudal world, so it's only the respectful thing to do provide that feudal world for the west, with the west being the serf in that world.
