> Is this not outrageous? That we're so intolerant of other kinds of economies that we must try and band and block so that people don't realise the disadvantages of our own system? If your system is so superior, let it compete on its own merits.

What are you arguing? Would you want to live in an economic system similar to Chinas? Many economists believe there is a genuine merit to China's economic system, but that doesn't mean it's something we in the West should support. There is a social cost to China's state intervention. The largest being that it leads to corruption. Do you think Huawei can ever take a stance against the Chinese government? Of course not. China's economic system is basically just corrupt capitalism. It's not about who's got the best economic system, it's about who has the right values.
