China has an authoritarian government that produces pollution that threatens the entire world, uses the great firewall to attack tech companies in other countries, prints up to 282% of GDP [1] in order to buy their way into other countries real estate and companies, ignores human rights and free speech, and supports dictators in Russia and Africa. If China gets anymore powerful, the world is doomed. We need to curb commerce with China.

The commerce with China is just about the only way to effect any of those humanitarian concepts. Given the government's perspective and intentions, there is little other than prosperity itself that would convince them to steer their country of 1.4 billion souls to do anything differently.
