To steel man the person you are replying to, what reduced poverty in China was money from globalism + significant domestic reinvestment of that money into poverty reduction. That reinvestment policy was a deliberate choice, and now China has the biggest middle class in the world.

An example of a country which didn’t do that is Nigeria. They got something like $300B in oil revenue over a 30 year period but have actually seen significant increases in poverty, now at 70%.

Who cares if another country didn’t take advantage of globalism? This doesn’t weaken my argument that globalism is what helped China rise again from centuries of mismanagement and neglect

selling your western centric view in 2026 is just laughable.

Why make a pointless comment when you no longer have anything substantial or interesting to write, or is that an "eastern centric view"?
