The comment implies that investment encourages the abuse. I don't think you can take that at face value. There is an argument that foreign investment tends to liberalize those sorts of countries.

The way I read, it's investment _from_ those countries, not _to_ them.

If you know that your purchase/use of product X, funded by fund Y with money from country Z will in the end benefit the chiefs of country Z - then no, there is no way that this "liberalizes" those countries. It supports the status quo (rich families/dynasties on top). It cements the status quo.
