But the point still holds in the countries you mentioned. It may take more political capital than monetary capital for businesses to strip power from workers but the effect is the same. In the U.S. corruption is built into the governance system via things like citizens united, and revolving door agencies. In a country like China it occurs at a lower level via selective enforcement of regulations, bribery and price fixing. not saying that these things can't all happen in both countries - they are just some surface level examples that illustrate how the same outcome is achieved in two very different systems.
