    I don’t think there’s a country in the developed world with a government that finds it distasteful to subsidize the consumption of their populace with environmental and human suffering. Moral superiority isn’t the difference being spotlit here. I think China just controls more manufacturing of its own which makes pivoting their society more efficient

      The question was about politics and economics, not morals.
      I would hope not supporting suffering and destruction doesn’t need to be explicitly stated to be understood.
