Isn't it what every country do? They produce commodities and export them. Western countries always did this. And as historically they had production capacity bigger than the rest of the world, they always produced more than could be produced domestically and, if we use the same terminology present in the article, they "dumped its excess on the international market". In lot of scenarios, when other countries tried to adopt protectionism trying to protect their national industries, US retaliated and forced other countries to abandon these policies. And before this, China is the very country that was invaded using the discourse of free market because they tried to prevent drug trafficking financed by England. Now that the west managed to get beaten in the very game in which they created the rules, suddenly the discourse change, and we get strange articles like these complaining about the very "free market" that a couple of years ago was revered.
