At root, the question of the world's relationship with China is not a question of trading widgets with an individual Chinese businessman to mutual benefit and leaving it to the Chinese to improve their own lot. While China may not be totalitarian like it was under Mao, it is still very much a nationalist dictatorship; it has changed only in terms of degree and not so much in terms of essentials—and the West must not be coy about it. As China works feverishly to present its new face to the world, we must choose to see Chinese oppression, caprice and avarice for what it is--and treat it accordingly.
