China is working on the assumption that power is good

By giving china the means of production for our products we have opened Pandora’s Box. We have taught them the technology, but not the morality. This applies across a spectrum of violations from some of the highest pollution rates on the planet, to major incursions into neighboring countries such as Tibet, to some of the worst cruelty to humans and animals on the planet. Their moral development has not kept pace with their economic growth.

China is working on the assumption that power is good. What they don't understand is that they're crippling themselves. Their development isn't sustainable. Oil is going to peak, or has, or will sometime in the near future. But China is trying too make the most of it now, before it runs out. If the industrialized countries hope to contend with China then we're going too have to use renewable energy resources so that when China realizes that there is no more oil we can still function.
