  1. It’s a great story.
    As long as you don’t include the dispossession and subjugation of Chinese subsistence farmers to capitalism, or that China only produces as much as it does because they lack our labor protections and environmental regulations.

  2. Yes, free markets work, just like they did when Deng opened Chinas country to western investment, eventually leading to Chinas acceptance into the WTO, and China opened up free economic zones to accommodate western companies doing business in its country. Capitalism works, even when socialists try it 😄

  3. If it wasn't for the 'Free Market' here looking to exploit workers and shipping all the factories and jobs there, we wouldn't have this issue.
    Yay Capitalism – Austin Powers.

  4. Venture outside the bigger urban areas and richest cities of China and go into the hinterlands, China still IS one of the poorest countries in the world. The poverty in those areas is staggering.

  5. I don't know why people aligning themselves with socialism are obsessed with China. It's hardly a socialist country if you are staying true to your own definition of socialism as a democratic control of workers over economy, within and out of enterprise they work in. Sure, it went from being extremely poor to relatively wealthy, but so what? That's what western countries achieved during industrial revolution, and your own country is much more prosperous than China! And these countries achieved prosperity without gross mismanagement, vigorous state oppression and cost of millions lives. But they don't serve as examples of socialism! Yes no matter how many times you would call this as CIA propoganda, these are facts

  6. But according to western experts, China has been collapsing 40 years ago. Because they have a different system, not western democratic, no freedom etc like the west. Today China according to them is still collapsing but they are veey dange8and is going to conquer the world starting with Taiwan which is part of China according to the UN and practically the world world. 😅
