please stop with the boring broad strokes about China being a nation of slaves

serfs peasants whatever
people who toiled for others until they dropped dead on the job
Pointing to Hong Kong and Taiwan and saying see is the obvious rebuttal
I explain that by saying that America was the only industrial power that wasn’t decimated in WWII so America had the whole world by the economic balls. So yeah, little bitch butt-buddy countries like Taiwan took off. If Japan hadn’t gotten on our radar by bombing Pearl Harbor they’d just be another Bangladesh. But as we fall they fall because the endless expansionism of capitalism is a dead end simply because the world is finite. China’s going up and we’re going down. China also has some potential to mold a sustainable model and enjoys the advantage of not being a democracy.
