The grovelling titans of global capitalism and their 21st century rules of the road of international commerce are part of the problem. Had globalization been beneficial to the majority of people of the world rather than a small group, then people would be more supportive. Human-rights abuses, growing militarism and disregard for the rule of law seem to be prerequisites for 'indispensable' countries. The carbon-intensive economic growth model that China is supposedly exporting is the same model that the developed world used to get where they are. There is nothing forcing Australia and Japan to bind their economies to China's, except pressure from their own titans.
