      Between an exchange of goods and services and flooding it by subventiontioning to suppress the competition is teensy tiny difference, no?

        This is called a “skill issue” on the hand of western imperialists that can’t compete. Stop framing doing better as being evil.

          Are they even trying to compete considering how many places were happy/eager to send manufacturing overseas in the name of lowering labor costs?

            Explain how it’s evil to allow the US companies to move their production out of the US? The US corporations could have kept industry here, but they decided to fuck themselves over so that a few shareholders’ margins went up by a few percentage points. That wasn’t China being malicious, that’s the US lacking any sense of foresight while being blinded by greed.

            Evil is the invisible hand of the market fisting the ass of your country, who send their production to a foreign country, and then start crying because they get better after decades of doing what guys should have being doing all along.
