> Or, on a more local note, an Australian automotive worker who worked for a company that figured out 10 years ago that they wouldn't be able to pay him a decent wage, compete with the then-upcoming Chinese EVs, and remain profitable.

I don't understand what your point is? This seems like a perfect example of comparative advantage - Australia can produce iron ore cheaper than anywhere else in the world and even when China launched a trade war against Australia the Australian economy kept growing.

There wasn't even any bump in unemployment from the closing of the car industry.

Once that trade war was settled, Australia got cheaper cars, China got cheaper iron ore and both economies won.

The rational behavior on both parts there is in stark contrast to current US policy, which is unpredictable and capricious.

> You might feel differently if you were a Filipino or Vietnamese fisherman whose family relied on the income from the stocks of the South China Sea, or a Uighur person living in Western China, or a Ukrainian soldier who has to deal with drones built with Chinese components, or a democracy advocate in Hong Kong, or arguably, a person who had plans for 2020-2021.

This seems like a random list of complaints about China and I agree with them in general.

I think you'll find most major powers have similar complaints. There certainly are against the US - I think you might find that both the Philippines and Vietnam(!) have fairly mixed feelings about the US for example.
