Clearly whatever China is doing is working a lot better than the western model. Both domestically and in terms of their international relations. Seems weird for a westerner to be lecturing China on how to conduct themselves.
Furthermore, what you call hyperprotectionist is an alternative development model to liberalism and capitalism. China is a socialist country, and that implies having industry under public control. That's the fundamental principal of socialist development.
The trade war with Russia has done absolutely nothing to achieve any of these goals. If anything, it's now put Europe in a far more disadvantageous position vis-a-vis Russia. Europe is now collapsing economically, its industry is shutting down, and it's becoming demilitarized having sent most of its weapons to be destroyed in Ukraine.
We're already starting to see civil unrest across Europe with strikes and protests in many countries, and it's not even winter yet. We're also seeing far right populist governments increasingly coming to power. As the economic situation continues to unravel, it's only a matter of time until European countries start making deals with Russia on Russian terms.
I'm not sure how anybody can argue any of the events of the past 7 months have made Europe stronger in any way.
