It seems that the Western ideology from way back and now as well, as having been led more recently by the USA, is to illegally and immorally remove competitors if they become too successful. That is competitors on all aspects of the markets from public, corporate, to governmental areas…
The aspect about anyone and or anything becoming more productive and efficient to compete and surpass western economies, such as China’s has done, becomes just a desire within the west, to tear the others legit successes down and exploit then through chaos, any country that it can. This is all the while that chaos reigns within the western home front and thus western people see it as a roller coaster normal…
It’s a “modus operandi” for perpetual war and chaos, for a world constantly & consistently in acrimony (anger & bitterness)…
Ask who (and or what) benefits from such a world?
