Not supporting the post you responded to, while not sure about your opinion either, something perhaps relative:

- To a French company: [The American Trap](https://www.amazon.com/dp/1529326869)

This book was recommended to me by a Chinese colleague:

It seems to me to be saying the US unfairly gained.
