China sees this with wry amusement. They remember the western nations during what they call the century of humiliation. They particularly remember Britain forcing opium on them at gunpoint. It is taught in the schools there. HSBC was literally founded as a dope bank to facilitate the opium trade.

China will not lift a finger until its still to them as a tool in negotiations.
