China decided to play ball with the slave economy because it makes scads of money. If they were interested in pushing fucking state communism and raising the quality of living perhaps this was the wrong move. I suppose the counterargument would be that letting the west export its manufacturing sector somewhere else would have been a missed opportunity, but perhaps (and I say this as an American) the better move ideologically would have been not to engage with manufactory colonialism for a quick buck. Now we have Foxcon. They might have aligned with communist or at least sympathetic governments around the world for the project of I dunno stonewalling western oligarchs and not participating in the capitalist economic system. Insane, radical, anti-Party thought I know, I’m sorry. Just thinking out loud here.
