He is partly right. We started the slide in 1970 by giving the Third World trading terms that made them far cheaper than the West. Which started the decline in wages for some. How many production companies closed down because they could never compete with workers on $5 a day? How many scandals did we read about child labour making goods for famous name companies?
The promise was that the West would be making the hi-tech products of the future.
Chinese space stations. How much more Hi-Tech do we need to be?
Chinese military.

It took 50 years to fuck us all. In the next 50 years our decline will be complete.
And we did this so we could get cheap stuff in the shops.
