It might be time for democratic countries to consider not trading with China. China is totalitarian and marxist and is therefore incompatible with democratic values. But still democratic governments and corporations aim to trade with China because it's a massive market and there's plenty of money to be made.
The Australian Prime Minister is between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, China is our major trade partner. On the other hand, America is our ally and also a major trade partner. So Morrison has to dance with each.
Blizzard, I read, have significant investment from China, and China are a massive market for them. So they self-censor in order to stay in China's good graces.
I don't see how corporations and countries can do business in China, without compromising their values and possibly stepping on the values of citizens/customers in democratic countries.

Thing is China already got rich by trading with rest of the world. Their middle class amounts to like 50% of total population.
The way China spends that money is very smart - they will be self sustained soon by buying up Africa.
They dont care about rest of the world, they dont have to. Soon not USA but China will be the biggest imperium on Earth.
Thats how more or less cards look like now.
