> Neo-liberalism that literally pulled half of the planet out of permanent poverty?

My original quote said "better outcomes for the country." Yes, a lot of people were pulled out of poverty, but their gains came and the expense of middle-class Americans.

Maybe you're a globalist and you think this is a good outcome. I just hope you never have a nation state-level problem, e.g. unfair competition in the market place. The help you receive from the Chinese government, despite all of their gains, is likely to be quite minimal if you're not a Chinese citizen.
