Cavemen used to behave like China is doing now "... We have bigger clubs.... We will take over those caves [that had better water sources] ....".
Humans tend to evolve to better things (no laws ---> laws; poor laws ---> better laws) except China where it is now doing what Mao told them to do "power comes from the barrels of guns", in the process trashing the solemn pledge made by Deng Xiaoping in 1974 at the UN where he (falsely, it seems) promised that China would never be a tyrant.
"... If one day China should change her colour and turn into a superpower, if she too should play the tyrant in the world, and everywhere subject others to her bullying, aggression and exploitation, the people of the world should identify her as social-imperialism, expose it, oppose it and work together with the Chinese people to overthrow it..."
Well, the US Senate is helping China to remind itself of its own broken pledge.
The choice is with China: responsible global citizen or international pariah (object of contempt & scorn).
