Abstract: Abstract The times are peaceful and yet wars continue. Luckily, those waged between the titans of the world are bloodless. Still, unfortunately, the cold trade war is turning into a hot one, the discreet and quiet disputes are being replaced by an open and loud confrontation. This is mainly happening because the West is afraid of the growing competition from the East and, when it’s playing fair, more and more often it cannot keep up with it.1 Therefore the scale of hypocrisy — for the United States best illustrated by the “Do what we tell you, not what we do” slogan — is on the rise. Sheer self-righteousness. Talking constantly of free trade and liberal economy, of technology transfer and direct investment, while resorting to protectionist maneuvers, whether open ones or those hidden behind a political rhetoric.
