I have the feeling that the whole trade war starts from a pile of nonsense.

--- Quote ---China has roughly followed the same development strategy as Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore before it. From an economic standpoint, it is not doing anything particularly unusual for a country that is playing catch up.

None of those are a security threat to the US. Singapore and Hong Kong because they are tiny, Taiwan because it's desperate for allies and Korea and Japan are military vassals. Behaviour the US might have accepted from them are put in a different light with a country which is trying to compete with the US for regional power and is using soft power to annex natural resources.

The amount of technology theft by China is also on a whole different level AFAICS.

So what ? This is just few decades, and also for US perspective.

From your country perpective and you as a Dutch, looking at your flag.

Remember how Dutch empire thru VOC pillaged, sucked, robbed resources at one of the south east asia country for almost 3.5 centuries, yep, not decades, but centuries. The whole Dutch glory and great civilazation that you are enjoying is basically built based on stolen resources from somepart of the world elsewhere, similar to few European contries that did colonization in the past, dont you agree ?

Still you will say exactly like me ... "So what ?" ... :-DD .. yeah, quite embarassing isnt it ?  >:D

Copying isn't theft. The whole notion of IP is flawed and what is happening now is a perfect illustration of this.

The wet dream of, utilizing the IP as a new form of colonization, like saying to others ... you lowly creature, work hard, build & manufacture this commodity, but pay me the IP cost .. forever while I'm enjoying my life and filthy rich forever ... this is not realistic, and sustainable, especially across countries for long term.

But if the west do not realize or start reacting to it - then most of the current “1st world” western world will be 3rd world within 20-40 years.
 
... <snip> ... China is smart and thinks further ahead than most western countries are currently capable of. And that capacity for planning needs respect - But the western world needs to start to take action to survive.

The word "authoritarian" is always seen as evil and nothing good at all, actually everything has two sides of a coin.

Authoritarian has good side is which is persistency, as IF (a big "IF" I know) that the leader has a sincere,good and noble vision for the country's interest in long term, this it self will beat the hell out so called pure "democracy", as this democracy makes it very hard to maintain the country's direction, as the whole realm in the country is constantly dragged into the fight of the change at every election period, or good example referendum like Brexit which is divided the whole country into pieces.

Its like fighting to tame a voltage regulation (electronics speaks) that has heavy fluctuations, one or two cycles of the control loop sometimes is not enough, and worst, change the control loop in the middle of the road :palm:, really believe some of you probably agree on me using this analogy.

At the end, it is the "stable and expected" voltage regulation that matter, for long term.
