If you think unparalleled manufacturing expertise at unparalleled prices isn't an economic gain for the entire world you need to open your biased eyes wider.

Yes the west and china are economic rivals. This does not mean China has zero economic benefit to the world. To not see this is utter blindness.

I do not question their economic activity. Whether that's been for the good of anyone but China and the world's billionaires... I'm not so sure.

Either way it wasn't done for the benefit of the world. China started manufacturing because they wanted to gain economic power and arrive in the 21st century.

Only billionaires gain from higher production of products? Makes sense. You never gained anything clearly because you've never purchased anything made in China.
