International hypocrisy on full display yet again. South Africa was bullied into ending apartheid, and rightly so. Israel is condemned routinely for defending itself against terrorism. The almighty dollar triumphs over human rights. South Africa was no economic powerhouse. The UN is dominated by anti Semitic Muslim nations. But China's economy is like a bright flame to the capitalist moths of the Western world. Never mind that China's people are suppressed ruthlessly. Never mind Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Capitalist moths have often been singed by the flame of China's economy. But they keep coming back. China knows the West's weaknesses and plays on them most successfully.
