My point was that China's success didn't come from food shortage and poverty like you were trying to frame it. It came from your trade and partnership with the US in the 80s and a bit of luck because they underestimated you. Capitalist greed and white supremacy clouded their judgement. Without that period, China might've never become a world power in science and technology in its present form. You might've ended up like Brazil, Russia or India. A strong country, but not one of the two or three leading nations in science and technology.
