The whole problem with China is only marginally about what it does (IP theft, manipulations of financial markets etc are real), but mostly about what the rest of the world doesn't do. Most of the world have stopped to solve the problems. My friend has a pet theory that it's about the rise of social media – we stopped to care about how things are and only care about how things look to others. People who do, make mistakes; building something is always somehow bad for environment etc etc. It's more rewarding for people to look better persons in social media than do something and risk with their image. While it's certainly naive, I think there is something in it.
