To all those saying "more cooperation now": Aren't transparency, consistency, tolerance for different views, and willingness to compromise the prerequisite for any type of trust and cooperation in modern society?

How do you cooperate with a regime which has none of these and which is so obsessed with doublespeak (e.g. "中国的民主是一种全过程的民主") and all those crazy authoritarian stuff, the only logic of which is "more coercion, more control, and more power"? And with the emperor and his underlings increasing their grip on the private sector and private citizens, how would it be more feasible for cooperation to emerge even out of "spontaneous order" where no initiative or support from the government is required?

This is not a "China" vs. "US" issue. This looks more and more like a "communist authoritarianism combined with a pre-modern social fabric that has a strong flavor of xenophobia/racism" vs. "the modern world" issue.
