China has been known to bribe individuals and coerce them with stated ramifications to their families in China to steal secrets of other nations as well as sign deals that would be otherwise illogical. Is this the “gangster” mentality you refer to? Chinas economic rise has come through a generous allocation of an “emerging economy” status under many provisions at the WTO and other international organizations. Are you in favor of other countries kicking them out?

You speak as if China invented bribery and every other nation is some sort of angel? Idk you can call that a cheater, gangster is like using violence and, you know, kill people, like blatantly, like in wars. Like I said I don't do enemy, I don't look at a map of the world and see a country and say this is pure evil and set out to destroy them, kick them out of WTO or whatever. Because first of all that sounds ridiculous and second of all, I'm kind of not an angel myself.

  No, i'm referring to your comment where you claim China is simply taking advantage of a loose system of government policy in negotiating a better deal for themselves in Australia which is simply not true. It is through deceit, fraud, and illegal practices such as the ones i have outlined above. The point here is one that should not be of contest. Nations are part of international agreements on the basis of mutual trust and respect. It isn't a foregone conclusion as you lay out. Other nations cannot simply continue accommodating favorable economic status to China when they establish an aircraft identification zone in international waters with the threat of surface to air missile batteries in place for those that choose to not recognize those claims. The WTO and other international forums that China has used thus far to their advantage should reasonably be a lever that nations that feel wronged by their use of economic progress , converted to military posturing should have the freedom to resort to. That is simply the point.
