It's very pertinent in the face of arguments that point to a global trend and ignore the impact of one country on that trend. I've seen many a claim that global capitalism is reducing poverty levels, when in some regions the opposite is true, and without China, which is hardly representative of the general situation, the overall picture is far less conclusive.Minnesänger wrote:There’s deffo some selective, and occasionally inaccurate, info about how certain countries developed, and saying “if we remove China the data looks like this” is kinda lol as it means removing the single most populous nation on the earth.
