“There was a time 20 years ago when people, perhaps rather dismissively in Europe and indeed elsewhere, might have been saying that China are imitators. I think that’s long gone now.

Very valid arguments but ‘get competitive’ instead of complaining is unavoidable unless we go to war. China will win all of our markets and without further natural resources we won’t have anything to trade for.
We have to get competitive despite China using slave labor and despite China bribing our elites.
