    The one that practices free trade, free flow of goods and services, free flow of capital and people, freedom of expression, freedom of religion and the freedom to hold any political belief (although acting on some political beliefs may be punishable, see: Nazism and genocide)

    The society that brought you practically all modern channels for open, global sharing of knowledge and funding (see: WHO, the world bank, WTO, etc.) and created the most successful board for global, peaceful communication in history: The UN. You can argue about how successful it is, but good luck finding anything that has worked better.

    All the goods that come along with being part of such a society are reliant on all participants following the agreed upon rules. When China decides to lie, cheat, steal and bully, they should not be permitted to partake in the goods until they learn how to behave.
