China's predatory and anti-competitive trade practices, undervalued yuan, hacking, espionage, IP theft, etc., need to be formally recognised and penalised. They have lied, cheated and robbed their way to the top, and the West is in serious danger of being subdued by thugs who have seized control of the world by acting like criminals.

Back in the days of their entry into the WTO, we _knew_ the Chinese Communist Party were literally thuggish peasant bandits in suits. Wiser heads knew they absolutely could not be trusted. Yet weak minds, including the Harvard MBA class got greedy little dollar signs in their eyes and thought they could make money. They were led like pigs to the slaughter by people who have never been anything but our adversaries.

You have a lot to learn about the Orient, they're different, that doesn't mean they are worse, they're just different.

One thing you can learn from them is to stop blaming others and look inside, find out how we can do better. Besides, it's also quite unamerican to whine and blame others, especially on the 4th of July, we have done and we can still do better than China, but it isn't going to happen without some real change.
