China lifted itself out of poverty when it became a capitalist, dictatorial oligarchy.

  No. It was only allowed to develop after making deep concessions to imperialism, including special economic areas where capitalism is allowed. Thankfully the working class is still in control of the state, as we’ve seen the limits on capitalism tightened recently, especially during covid.

    You think the working class is in control of China? The working class that has nets installed in their job provided dormatories because too many of them are commiting suicide? Those people are nearly slaves.

      A certain level of exploitation is demanded by imperialists in exchange for capital investment and allowing trade. The working class of any victim nation is forced to accept deregulation like this if they wish a change at developing. Vietnam made a similar choice in a similar position. In both countries working conditions and labour laws have been steadily improving. This change is only possible if the workers as a class are in control of the state.
