also China was handpicked by the American capitalists to be the manufacturing hub (cheap currency was a cherry on top). Countries recently forced to devalue currencies haven't had a similar manufacturing boom especially because global economy is doing kinda shit.

also back then there was western industry that could be offshored to china. whose industry's gonna move to argentina now? nobody else with a significant manufacturing sector is stupid enough to do it, after watching the west shoot itself in the foot. or so one would hope...
