I specifically said China eliminated poverty, not factory jobs. Not sure where you got that from.
The neoliberal trajectory is a gradual growth from agrarian economy to a services/IP economy. Factories are a step along that way.

Here you clearly state that the way for vietnam to stop being oxens is by growing in a neoloberal world. Then:
> China eliminated poverty through neoliberalism. The rest of the world can, too. This is the benefit of neoliberalism
You praise China for growing this neoliberal world, but you forgot that Chineese people are still oxens.
Oh I did not know the Chinese economy stopped growing?
This is an example of moving the goalposts.

It's impossible to engage meaningfully with you if you're going to rely on argumentative fallacies and ignoring everything that is said to you.
