There are actually areas in technology where Korea still leads China. There are no free riders in trade; trade only happens when both sides make profit. The only question is which side makes more. When China sanctioned SK, SK suffered, but China lost money too (just under $1 billion), just not nearly as much because China selectively cut areas that benefited SK more. China makes money, lots of money from trade with SK, and others as well. Every one it sanctions, China must hit itself too with a double-bladed weapon. Its economy and ability to sustain a powerful military shrinks by a little.That's a thing of past. After US objection, israel stop working with China and busy selling their equipments to India nowadays. Wake up.
No, South Korea wants China market and China doesn't need anything from South Korea.
Those export driven small countries like South Korea and Israel are nothing but free riders.
The strategy has made China pretty good is a thing of past. It won't work anymore for next stage
Besides, China getting most its info from Internets. It doesn't need to partner with Free Riders.
Back in the 80s, 90s, when China opened up, there is No internet to speak off and its tech base is very low. It needs to learn from partnership. Now it's all different. (past strategy won't work anymore, mark my words)
Israel actually still helped China through all American efforts, though not altruistically and I don't know how much these days. But several years back, there was an incident where 4 or 8 F-15 engines disappeared from an Israeli base that many believe were sent to China.
Anyway,
This conversation is really difficult because you're so ignorant that you think China conducts trade to benefit other countries (free riders) and you can't control your anger. I can't mark the words of a person who shows such blatant ignorance in the same post. May I ask how old you are?
The bottom line is this: if China reacted to the post of an Israeli internet blogger with an unofficial economic ban, first would be utter confusion about what is going on and why China's doing what it's doing. Then, when it's revealed that that was the trigger, then everyone in the room would start laughing at how stupid and childish China's leaders were. Such an overreaction is literally unheard of in world history; one would not expect it even from the likes of Kim Jong Un.
