I think China has proven that for developing world to really develop, they should employ the same tactic. The real monopoly of developed world is in technology, and there is no way any poor country can catch up. Poor countries will always just be some 'market' unless they do something to save themselves. And when robot technology really takes off, poor country will have 'zero' chance of getting out of their situation again, they are going to be in deep trouble.
