> Where do you think those "private companies" got the money to build their businesses? By... selling stuff to people? I'm sure they get government subsidies, but that's not all of their money, or even a majority. > so they have to do money laundering like that in order to get away with it I'd like to see some proof that 1) they launder money and 2) that it's in significant enough amounts as to allow companies to adopt a kill-the-rest-of-the-world strategy. The latter part of your post basically boils down to "action X is evil when they do it, but not when we do it, because we're the good guys and they the bad guys". Where's the proof? Has China actually killed competition via years of state-funded undercutting, or is it just speculation that they might?
