My guess that the prior comment either reflects an assumption that non western capitalists are somehow better than western capitalists or that China’s capitalists aren’t a capitalist class.

I mean if we’re being capitalists, that’s how the free market works, right?

US auto makers were like “we love the free market”, then people bought cheaper cars from China and they said “wait, not that free!”
They want to be the one to buy the $10,000 car from China, and then sell it to us for $50,000.

No ethical way to spend in a capitalist society. It kind of is what it is, cause I gotta eat. Also certified “you criticize capitalism yet you live in it moment” to you sir.

are all unethical choices equal? Surely there are better and worse things?
