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.
