It's likely true that neither side looks for our support at this
point. In fact, support coming from people in rich Western countries
may be rejected. But Chinese workers may need our support in the
future and it's good to know "which side we're on."

"Those who take the most from the table
Teach contentment.
Those for whom the taxes are destined
Demand sacrifice.
Those who eat their fill speak to the hungry
of wonderful times to come.
Those who lead the country into the abyss
Call ruling too difficult
For ordinary folk." – Bertolt Brecht.
