There most certainly is a difference. Have you been to China? These "turbo-capitalists" are all Communist Party connected scumbags that literally would rather see people die and make a yaun than worry about safety.

Parts of China is pure filth. There is no quality control until bad PR surfaces. Then it's all about saving face.

Here in the US, I think we've seen what the rhetoric of false equivalency gets us. Go peddle that somewhere else.
