    What could it possibly matter where FT is based if they’re publishing an article about a specific trend in a specific region?

    The point is, if we want to continue to raise the floor on poverty and wealth in the world, this trend must continue because GDP is still too concentrated in the west.

    You can thank China for the global reduction in poverty, without China poverty would be increasing globally.

      How could you possibly take three comparable regions with similar trends in data and then claim the actions of only one are to blame. Pick and choose, it’s lazy and poor data analysis.

      China is applying the same playbook as the western colonizers did over the past hundreds of years. It will end just the same. Lucky for you, you seem to benefit from it right now, your future generations will pay the price. You can also thank the many ethnic minorities China is exploiting to broaden their influence. Totally different

        If the same playbook from the century of humiliation was being used the PLN would be bombarding Dutch coastal cities when the Netherlands attempted to steal Chinese property.

        Honestly that sounds more like an American thing to do

        The only response this merits is “lmao”

        Lucky for you, you seem to benefit from it right now, your future generations will pay the price.

        I live in the west, Sherlock Holmes

        You can also thank the many ethnic minorities China is exploiting to broaden their influence.

        Again, with contempt, “lmao”
