Trust in either is a silly thing to do when you could just read a history book and see for yourself what always happens.

For example China.

If the Chinese worker was allowed to accrue a fair share of the wealth generated by their work the wealth in China would rise until equality where it makes no more sense to outsource everything there and manufacturing will rebalance.

Both the Chinese and US government policies are at fault that the gap isn't closing.

The stupid here is that tariffs nuke the us economy down to the Chinese level as the solution rather than remove the skimming and bad laws so the Chinese can rise.

Truly a government solution. Practically DEI or no child left behind logic to punish those who are ahead instead of constructively helping those who are behind.
