  • There are no quick answers or even an easy way to understand China. It’s over 10k years of history and that’s just what we know.

    However, for your particular question, the one thing to understand is the ONLY thing China cares about is the Chinese people. The rest of the world could literally be on fire and everyone in the midst of genocide and China will do nothing. The Chinese strongly believe that every nation should just do whatever they want as long as they trade with China. The reasoning behind this is ironically from Europe, or at least Europe gets the credit. It’s called westphanlian system.

    The basic core of this is that China doesn’t know any better than the country itself on how to rule. Maybe that country needs to commit genocide, China doesn’t know and it shouldn’t fall on China to try to fix it. Just look at American Adventurism and how it’s affected Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, I could go on. Why try to impose your way of life on someone else if they don’t want it anyway and will result in terrorism when the people revolt.

    Unless of course, it’s within China. If you don’t like it leave as USA likes to constantly report, many people do. There’s no travel bans, there’s no restrictions on their citizens to force them to stay. Their only rule seems to be don’t leave and attack China trying to make them change if you do.

    So, ultimately to your question, the answer is China will sell pretty much anything to anyone if they ask. They’re not big on restrictions outside of the country. It leads to some very strange actions to people who think a country should meddle in the business of others, but if you have westphalian values, it all makes perfect sense.
