Nope. They just have more bodies to appeal to. Especially to western companies that already captured the US/EU.
Other factors include lower cost of living, cultural factors that reduce individualism, and a semblance of basic safety nets (the ones America sucks at and is actively trying to burn the remains of). Being poor in China (or Asia in general) looks nothing like being poor in the US.
I might be seriously mistaken here, but I don't believe being poor in China is better than the US. I mean, at the very outset, you can get "soft-arrested" when you are banned from travel for being in debt. And freedoms aside, there are more in poverty in China then the US.
