Should we worry that the people of China, India and other undeveloped countries are getting richer?

yes if the Chinese government takes a slice of all that money and uses it to build nukes to threaten Taiwan and keep its own citizens under authoritarian control.
When will libertarians understand that governments can oppress people? They claim to but do they really when they give very bad governments a pass?

I doubt the Chinese would want to nuke Taiwan. Too close to the mainland.

China has had nukes since 1963. Kind of silly to worry at this late date when China can assemble a couple nuke warheads a day if they want to, and could even before they went quasi-capitalist.
