I advise you to reflect on the bias of your own view points. China has been pulling the same bullying tactics towards EU and S.Korea/Japan as well. IP transfer, forced partnership, etc. Notice how EU, South Korea and Japan haven't really been opposing this ordeal between China and US? They would also like to see China start playing fair, unfortunately there is very few economies can standup to China right now. China has been quite the bully towards EU nations (though not EU as whole yet). Here in Sweden, China went on full on propaganda mode over some Chinese tourists being kicked out of a hostel, and this made it to the Chinese national news yesterday.

The US did initially include the European Union in this trade war, but when the EU threatened to respond with a import levies that affected Harley Davidson motorbikes manufactured in a Republican-voting state, the US backed down [1]. Chinese media (and social media particularly) does regularly cover stories about Chinese people outside of China involved in situations such as these, whether it's a high-profile business figure [2], or ordinary Chinese people involved in non-ordinary conflicts. Including the narrative that Chinese people don't get justice or support from local police when they are victims to criminal activity, that's regularly reported in Chinese media. UK media does the same thing, any disaster always has a mention of how many British citizens are involved, sometimes who they are. And a regular diet of outrage of British tourists coming face-to-face with the legal consequences of their behaviour across the world. Brexit revelations shows me that China trades using WTO rules with Europe. There does seem to be movement on that front too. [3], [4] Though, with trade arrangement with WTO rule, it's worth asking why US aren't resolving their dispute within the WTO. We shouldn't glorify bullies, even if they are bullying other bullies.

I suggest you read your own article. The "backed down" part is referring to a previous trade war under Bush.
