I think, in the long run, deep economic engagement with China will change it for the better, not economic withdrawal. If you care about the people of China I think this is a positive (albeit, a drop in the bucket).
Not that they should just embrace or accept the worst trends of China -- that wouldn't help. But engage and apply pressure with the resulting leverage. Here's a link to Apple's self-reported efforts in this area (it seems sincere to me, though I don't have any special insight into this): https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/pdf/Apple_SR_2019_Progress_Report.pdf https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/pdf/Apple_SR_2...
- chibg10 7y agoThis is nearly a tautology. Economic engagement with the rest of the world is obviously good for any single country (especially when you're essentially cherrypicking the rules you follow while the rest of the world is mostly compliant). But if that country is poised to become the next superpower and its leaders are the modern day analogue of imperial Japan or the USSR, that economic engagement is probably not good for the rest of the world (in the long-term).
