This assumes this is something the west did. Or that this is something the west should have prevented.

By trading with China the west certainly accelerated growth. But let's be clear hundreds of millions of people have been pulled up from extreme poverty -- overall I think that's a good thing.

True, China's rise has been beneficial for hundreds of millions - it's pretty much a miracle and China deserves a lot of credit.

I just believe that all those that called the USA a reckless superpower ain't seen nothing yet.
