Did it eradicated poverty in Burundi? South Sudan? Malawi? Pakistan? I can cherry pick examples too; means nothing, and what about the tankman? Was he lifted out of poverty? Or all the other victims of the goverment? Also China capitalism includes things like stealing tech secrets from the companies that manufacture there[0], is that part of the "ideal capitalism" you advocate for?

Sure, China has copied/stole tech from the West, just as the West has copied tech from China long ago. It happens when an economy is playing catchup. But in my humble opinion, the idea that China could only steal western tech is rooted in racism and a lot of western media propaganda. Ever had a Chinese co-worker? Did they seem dumber than you? Are they only good at the job because they're copying you or stealing your work?
- mattigames 4y agoGood old "if you critize a government it means you are racist against people in that country". No, that's not how it works, government positions -specially at autocracies- attract a rare kind of people, extremly greedy and ruthless, not representative of the rest. Also if the government orders you to steal secrets from your clients to follow such orders it's just basic survival instinct.
