While I'm no fan of Chinese monetary policy, the notion that anyone is conducting economic warfare against the US and Europe seems a little absurd. Those two economies together are *half* of world income. Almost all rich countries are in this zone - "deprived" it is not. If someone is "walking away with your wealth," it's because you're giving it to them in exchange for things you apparently want.
