The West really, really wants to shut its eyes on China very tight. We need to deny the West this comfort.

That's a paradoxal reaction. It's like somebody being raped tries to cover her face to not to see her rapist.

Not seeing a rapist doesn't change the ground reality of you still being raped. The correct action is not to use hands to cover your face, but to punch back the assailant.

I don't think it's fair to suggest China is "raping" the West. Hong Kong, maybe, but not the entire democratic world. At least, not yet.

Facts make a better argument than histrionics.
