"Mr President, congratulations to Mr Belder on a balanced report.
Sometimes we fall into the trap of treating a unified nation some 2 500 years old as though it was a small child that needs to be admonished. Or we see China’s meteoric rise as a threat to so-called Western supremacy. Such apprehensions are immature and divorced from current reality.
China is not a threat but an opportunity for us. During our financial crisis it pumped more money into our economy and kept us stable. It could have done nothing.
