I think that if we studied China over the past 3,000 years, and we really haven't; we've only set our hatred on race and communism, whereas China is behaving as China usually does.

It behaves differently to us, true, but only in one facet:

It does not make war.

It does not care what we think, and never has. It doesn't consider our feelings at all. It just goes along making trade with the world. Good business.

It just goes along being China. The whole point of being China is to be ...China.

There are no great Cathedrals of Christianity nor Islam, nor Hindu nor Senagoges etc. China has never had them, nor the spurious beliefs they tend to issue forth at the drop of a hat.

China has girls working in shops. If you hurt those girls, wow, are you in big trouble! You are truly fucked. If you let them be, then everything is just fine. The point of China is not to make the world rich, it is to make China better-off than it has been. They are doing that very well, every day, every week, every year.
