But China is no ordinary trading partner. If not openly committed to opposing Western values and interests, China’s interests in cowing Taiwan and in asserting regional hegemony across Asia certainly are not those of Europe and the West, not to mention Japan, India, and the rest of Asia.
但是中国可不是普普通通的贸易伙伴。即使不公开对抗西方价值观和利益，中国也有威胁台湾、谋求亚洲地区霸主地位的企图。当然，这有悖于欧洲和西方世界的利益，更不消说日本、印度和亚洲其他国家了。
