"Everything has been turned upside down. We are the emerging countries. They are the developed countries. So we have to do to them what they did to us. We have to impose joint ventures and technology transfer," argues Nicolas Dufourcq, CEO of the public investment bank Bpifrance, in an interview with AFP. (Translated)

It is honestly interesting to see neoliberalism being quietly thrown out the window, now that it's shown to really be quite awful for actually building up a country. Now western countries are trying to emulate strategies that China figured out decades ago, albeit without the right ideological foundation beneath it. Really reminds me of Deng's quote:

The superiority of the socialist system is demonstrated, in the final analysis, by faster and greater development of those forces than under the capitalist system.

And we are really beginning to see that here. Of course, actual socialist reforms will not come from bourgeois governments, and revolution is absolutely still needed, but Chinese socialism has already shattered the efficiency myth of neoliberalism, and I'm quite hopeful that eventually capitalism itself would be discredited.

The Soviets did in 30 years what it took amerika several hundred to do. "Neo" or not, communists proved superiority over Liberalism a century ago.
