> Especially if those countries are currently suffering from economic depression like China

You seem to ask a question to push a narrative rather than by curiosity

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/imf-upgrades-chinas-2023...

~5% growth when the west is contracting, specially Germany and the US is quite the feat, what's happening in the Red Sea didn't even hurt that forecast

Have you seen the forecast for most EU countries? it's quite dark in comparison

And have you read about EU farmers protesting? Dictators must be wearing blue, and censorship may rule, perhaps not just red ;)

Economic depression? has any of the European countries attempted this?

that 5% growth is just a fantasy number made up by the Chinese government, and parroted by other institutions like world trade bank. No way the 5% growth is real when FDI has fallen all the way from 344B in 2021 to 15B!! in 2023. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/charted-chinese-fdi-inflows.... Global investors like Blackrock and Vanguard obviously know the real financial truths.
