China has become the foremost manufacturing power by gaming the rules of the World Trade Organization. Greece is a member of this forum and last year it disallowed an EU resolution criticizing Chinese violation of human rights. India, too, has struggled with its strategy to deal with China, even dreaming of an Asian century with both India and China growing together.

Trump’s disruptive style and hostile posture on China have forced the developed world to acknowledge Chinese unfair trade practices, technology theft, and discriminatory investment opportunities.
