    I think lifting that many people out of extreme poverty in that short of time is admirable, and speaks to how recent the rise has been. The fact you’re saying “but they don’t have as good of worker amenities like paid time off of Europe that wasn’t at nearly such a disadvantage” is a wild standard.

      Why is it “a wild standard”? We’re taking workers rights. China is a big, wealthy developed country, why would we not expect from it at least good labour laws? The worker exploitation is not admirable. And I detest anyone who says otherwise.

        So why aren’t you more bothered by the worse actor that’s been the hegomonic superpower for the past 80ish years?

          I refer you to my previous post

          Why would you use shit for comparisons? Compare upwards. And why would you inject US into this thread too?

          So why aren’t you more bothered

          Dude. You USian, right? The egocentric belief that USA must be part of every damn discussion.

          1. Am I to start every post with ‘USA bad’?

          2. US being shit does not make China awesome. Compare upwards. China workers right lags lightyears behind EU. Even if EU enshittifies that, China is not even trying to catch up.
