Making substandard things isn't saying they aren't powerful. I think that is being conflated.The fact is though they are incredibly corrupt internally. America is the most powerful country in the world and is corrupt.They went from one of the poorest countries in the 1980s and in the 90s had the biggest economic boom in human history from poor to 2nd biggest economy in roughly 10 years.Last stats I recall seeing has America 25% of the world's GNP and China 23%.
