But in so doing, it gives the false impression that communism is a successful economic system, though the ChiComs and Viets are breaking one golden rule of Marxism by not ‘doing it on their own’ but by trading with free-market countries.
With slave labor and free trade outside their borders, they have lots of disposable income to spend on the military.
