I think it’s too late to stop China

  The very reason you're downvoted is the reason you're right. People have their heads in the sand. They don't realize that there's no political will to oppose China because China has already bought the needed to control to tamp down on any efforts to oppose them. Hell, we're witnessing in-your-face genocide of the Uighurs, takeover of Hong Kong, imminent takeover of Taiwan, support of North Korea's psychopathic regime, destruction of the environment in every way possible (as in this story), etc... and the rest of the world sits on its collective hands. China knows how to boil frogs nice and slowly.

  And Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia... The list is long. Western democracies don't seem to care of all the sweet dollar that is to be made in these countries. At least Russia used to pretend to play by established rules. The problem with these rules, IMHO, is that they were created to serve the interests of western powers. Hard to force other countries to play by them, then.

    You are very right. The "our bastard" doctrine was an idiocy on massive scale, and continues to be one. The West has bred all the snakes in the snake pit they ended up in now itself. > "He may be a bastard, but he's our bastard." There is no yours, or their bastards, there are just bastards.
