Didn't you notice how many times you used words China "can", "can't", "must" etc. In other words you tell us what China really wants to do. You says "China can't opt out of trade" when this premise is patently false because no Chinese would want "to opt out of trade" in the first place. All other your assertions about China's policy built on the same false antagonistic assumptions. I (and no doubt others on ET) are still awaiting your proofs that China really wants to do this or that which you attributed to her.

China doesn't want to opt out of trade. Why should it? It wants to trade. But trade creates dependency, and unlike the EU or the US, whose highly diversified economies benefit from, but are not dependent upon, trade, China has actually become dependent upon trade, particularly trade with the US and the EU. Dependency is the opposite of independence, and independence is what provides power in counter-party relationships. Think it through.
