There are no "pure" capitalistic games being played. The US and China interfere to varying degrees.

Talking about slavery in this context is also ridiculous.

I am talking about economic slavery when you get 10 cents for a $1 product that you produce. The rest is taken by intermediates and tariffs of various kinds.

China will cut out the middle man soon enough.
