    its kinda funny, simple heuristic - current leader in industrial production favors free trade - very easily describes behavior of british empire, usa, germany (inside eu). Its not some dastardly plot.

    China by nature of its population size would be world systems headache as middle income country. Its not question of reforms or trade practices, lib china would also swing production of the whole world (by ascension from 1 billion consumers to two billions).

    Same would be true of india, if they were not completely captured by local compradors.
