I guess all these countries don't care about safety either...

Actually this isn't true at all then. By your logic, China also have an extremely high standard for human rights. Just a cursory look at the Chinese constitution shows how much they value equality.

And surely, the rich and connected people in China have those rights. They are treated fairly by the system and society.

It's just those poorer people that are hurt, but hey, the framework for it still exists.

The funny thing is that even your comment sounds like coming from ten years ago. I remember reading pundits talk about the coming collapse of China for almost 20 years now.

At the time that the US was developing, it also had extremely low standards for human rights.

But as the US prospered, the Civil Rights movement kicked in. So perhaps the same will happen in China.

The last time China had a huge trade imbalance with a country resulted in the Opium Wars.

I can see why China is so keen on improving their military now.

Not to mention all the American fashion brands that are doing great in China, like Levi's, Coach, Polo, etc.

Add in the makeup brands like Lancome, Estee Lauder, Clinique, etc.
