Indeed. It always has been and is still quite convenient to channel the momentum of people who might be able to "get it" to look elsewhere for their problems. Putting the blame on China (or Russia) has been used rather successfully in that regard in recent years, especially when it comes down to Trump supporters. The simple fact is that China is using the existing system to its advantage (as every country does) but far more successful and smarter than the rest of the world IMO. And why shouldn't they? One could say that they have perfected it and the west looks quite backwards in that regard. Can we blame them for that, I don't think so! It shouldn't surprise anyone to find "Chinese companies" taking over here or there since that is basically the name of the game in this day and age and they have the will, power and ability to do so. It should also be remembered that China has basically become the driver, deliver, producer of pretty much all and everything the rest of the world is using from day to day. The rest of the world has relied on all those cheap products/goods being produced in China and thereby effectively exploited it to their advantage. For decades hundreds of millions of Chinese have worked their asses off to make the lives of the rest of the world comfortable and cozy (especially in the west). One might even say that they deserve some (even much) credit for that, and it is maybe now time that the rest of the world acknowledges that as well instead of continuing to point the finger at china. Sometimes I also think that some of that Anti China sentiment stems from the envy some parts of the PTB feel toward that country and "what they are able to do".
