    Are you saying China benefited from the Opium Wars?

      That would make about as much sense as criticising China for complaining about what Japan did to it in the past.

      Luckily westerners never talk about WWII and what the Nazis did. No films, no books, no memorials. It’s like none of it ever happened. Good thing, too; imagine how embarrassed you’d be to try to work in good faith with people you’ve been at war with after spending years funding them.
