        Authoritarianism is fine, as long as it’s your guys.

                Just so I can properly understand what you’re talking about, are we talking about China? Russia? The USSR?

                China is maybe the only one that fits some of that description, particularly with the belt and road initiative. Which isn’t even particularly good, it’s designed to trap developing nations into a perpetual debt cycle. Unless you can provide specific examples?

                Outcompeting on what fronts? China does have a remarkable EV market and enormous manufacturing capabilities, but both of those are predicated on extremely low paid workers and resources taken from developing nations.

                Not that the same thing doesn’t happen in the US, mind you. Think it’s more of economic thing than any particular political ideology on the scale of world governments
