This is laughably absurd. The last few decades have seen a massive reduction in poverty in China. China has had a huge trade surplus with the US for decades, and probably the rest of the world too. How on earth is that exploitation?

It is laughably absurd.

Despite this, someone in the future will write their dissertation on this topic in the affirmative. They will be considered one of the great visionaries of their time in certain circles, despite being totally wrong.

They'd be totally wrong if you are an entrepreneur and they'd be totally right if you're a lower class worker. Doubt you'd find a synthesis there.

Yes, of course. They will rest their argument on the asinine and unfalsifiable "lived experience" canard.

We can only hope that smarter humans will win the day.
