This. I mean I feel like anyone could make an awesome economy if they were given trillions and trillions of loans, told they could ignore all environmental regulations, and had, at least initially, a bottomless pool of cheap labor with no rights.
Of course it looks like they’re “winning”. They will lose, and ultimately it will be a tragedy for the Chinese people when standards of living collapse and the true ability to repress people with modern technology begins to show.

I mean I feel like anyone could make an awesome economy if they were given trillions and trillions of loans, told they could ignore all environmental regulations, and had, at least initially, a bottomless pool of cheap labor with no rights. I mean, how is this different from the US or British Industrial Revolutions?
