Was China less authoritarian in the 80s and 90s when mass manufacturing migration between West and East started? The West gave China the capital they are now using. Soft and hard capital and power. It seems cheaper to fight media-propaganda proxy wars than actually do anything about it - as in, promote reversals on this manufacturing divestment.
