But is that really surprising? Of course they don't view it as a partnership: it isn't and they know it. China provides you with cheap manufacturing/labor while you fund their development of the infrastructure necessary to take your business from you at the end of the transaction. It should be no surprise that they're taking you for as much of a ride as they can until then. It's smart business on their part, not so smart on ours.
You're not wrong but that is why the company is planning to end all relationships with China and start production in Mexico. When Mexican production is up to speed and perfect the rug will come out from under our Chinese factories.
I have a feeling they are not going to be very happy.
