I’m not sure competition would help too much. The incentive just isn’t good, because companies tend to focus mainly on price, rather than quality. If a factory makes a worse product, but does it for cheaper, then that is what will get picked.

This is why we all need to shop local. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been to Walmart
I laughed at the anti-globalists in the 90s. I now realize they were right and I was dumb.
Redundancy and self-sufficiency are wayyyyy more important than economic efficiency.
This is the best thing that happened to the world in 300 years. The history of the Western World is one of murder, invasions, genocide and imperialism. Now they are finding it harder and harder to invade and murder us as their industrial base diminishes.
Hate to be a downer but murder, invasions, genocide, and imperialism is more of a general humanity thing. China had it’s warring states, Japan had Unit 731, and Cambodia had the Khmer Rouge just to name three examples.
Oh yes innocent peaceful China, certainly not the worlds longest running imperialist country ever. How many hundreds of millions have been killed in wars by China?
The Chinese government has only been in power since the late-40s/early 50s. Do you contribute the deaths by Nazi Germany to the modern German state?
Ah China, 50 years of culture!
You’re just mad that you can’t kill our people like you used to.
One-note support of a regime with talking points rather than actual arguments? Smells like a govbot to me…
For non-bots: No one I’ve seen here is arguing that America hasn’t done shitty things. If you want to have China be your imperial masters, you have every right to make that decision, but imperialism sucks no matter who’s running it (hint: it’s not just a yt people thing), and China’s international relations strategy isn’t being run for the good of poor countries, but the good of the Chinese state. I think things tend to go better for the poweless when power isn’t unipolar, so poorer countries can play competing interests off each other, but every sovereign nation gets to make that call for themselves.
I love it when Westerners refuse to discuss their murderous deeds.
Pretty sure I’ve never murdered anyone personally, but I’m actually pretty much constantly talking about my country’s murderous policies. Which ones? Chile? El Salvador? Laos? Iraq? I’m a leftist, I can talk about that shit all day. I think we’re dicks. I’m just also antiauthoritarian, so I think the Chinese government are dicks, too.
