For a hundred years slavery gave the US an advantage over nations relaying on opium, indenture workers and other business models. By the start of the 20th century these business models had been replaced with two free enterprise models best described as new and old money. New money relayed on innovation enjoying public support because the concepts were mutually beneficial for the consumers and businessmen, while the old money like mine and rail barons relayed on undue influence whether by monopoly or political connections to retain their businesses.
Today most western manufacturers have gone out of business, yet old money has survived by engaging overseas sweatshops, and by looting other nations as well as their home nations of mineral resources for benefit of the overseas manufacturing plants. While brave people were advancing innovation and ideas of human rights and world prosperity such as in the UN Charter, the grandchildren of the old money have been manipulating governments and the UN to create the sweatshops and mines such as in Indonesia.
What about the future? With China able to assert control of its people to maintain upper and lower classes for the foreseeable future, China can exploit a vast population more efficiently than America's old money can. It seems to me that we either maintain the lies, the denial of abuse by the immoral elite families; or we adopt the new path of innovation and world prosperity in which China would find it much more difficult to become the world economic superpower.
For example: do we release West Papua from slavery? Under a US plan benefiting Robert Lovett and the Rockefellers the Dutch asked the UN to take-over responsibility for the colony and by corrupting the UN for the pass fifty years a select group of Americans have had almost free access to the world's largest gold mine while the Papuan land owners have been killed and oppressed by the hundreds of thousands.
If we want the Chinese population to demand human rights, and if we hope to ever get China to adopt some of the business and human values we ask of it, shouldn't we clean our own house first ?
