I think the sad thing they were talking about is those businesses not getting the support they needed, because of an incompetent lack of strategic vision on the part of their governments'. It's like sending your army to a gunfight only armed with knives.

I understand that point, but I'm saying the West is not irrelevant ("Has it though" as in, "has it become irrelevant though"). The 'woe is me' is strong in this thread, but the solution is at worst 10 years away if Western governments put their backs into beginning the long process today.
