What's more evil: China following unethical economic practices to lift hundreds of millions out of poverty, or China following the rule book and letting hundreds of millions languish in poverty?

From where I stand, China NOT being pure capitalists for the good of their citizens is more evil.

It's well and good when a developed country talks about ethics and capitalism - they have the luxury to. But when a country where millions live in humiliating poverty, don't have enough to eat, and have no hope for the future, it would be far more evil to follow the book and let down these millions.

What kind of poverty is going to be left after the investments are done and the resources are extracted?

Should the people living there leave, like they are leaving Alberta and North Dakota now? Is your country going to take them?
