Distributing "fairly" (as in equally) is not what capitalism does.

Which is why I'm using the invisible hand definition of "fair". The principle of the invisible hand, a cornerstone of modern capitalism, is that when everyone does what is in their own best interest things are distributed most fairly. Not saying I agree with it, but that's the moral theory.

Capitalism is all about fairness, because income depends on competition.

Ceteris paribus, China's size means it has a larger market, more competitors and therefore a larger market share.
