You could use "democratic nations" instead of western world. I agree with you otherwise.

What will a dictatorship do if it had hundreds of billions in trade surplus every year? Well, they are eventually going to spend it on weapons.

even that's problematic. "democratic" ranges from truly democratic (eg. Norway or Canada) to despotic (eg. Democratic People's Republic of Korea).
