It doesn’t. The right answer is that both China and the West suck and should have worked together to reduce consumption rather than accept the waste-surveillance capitalism system they both accelerated from 1970-present

It’s like trying to reduce prostitution, when society is demanding more sex, do you jail the prostitutes or the tricks?

If there’s no demand for sex workers then there’s no sex worker market. However if nobody is struggling to survive, then theres no supply.

You need to end the desire for consumption in order to eliminate authoritarianism
