China's internal policies for foreign firms were far harsher for any country to treat China nicely. They are harsh till date.
No, west has actively aided and assisted China since 70s to 90s to stand against Soviet Union by all financial and technological means.
Also indirectly, west imposed Plaz Accords weakening Japan and India bankrupted by decades long sanctions and isolations. This ensured China doesn't have any strong arch enemy in neighborhood.
India, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, east European states and many African military regimes have faced war level sanctions that China neither faced nor ever will. West in fact sponsored economic build up of China as China was their ambiguous ally in those days.
Don't know what you're saying. Chinese aerospace, spacecraft technology, improved nuclear technology, advancement of space program, semiconductors (ARM) were a result of direct assistance and cooperation between west and China. Most of Chinese aircrafts, rockets, automotives and even certain nuclear weapons still have same designs and mechanisms as China got them from US, UK and France..
So what you're saying is factless.
Your claims are self contradictory!
One side you claimed China is harsh to forgein firms, one side you claimed China gained from them on tech and financials. By your logic, why are westerners so b**ch to China? Don't forget how they bullied other developing nations includes India, we all "colored people" from their universe.
The fact is, China for decades was the 1st investment destination for foreign firms. Those foreign firms one side were exporting their products made from China, another side were making good profit selling in Chnese domestic markets.
Even in 2022, the EU is still increasing the investment in China on manufacturers sector. The Germany are moving Automobile, Chemical, Machinary, Electric equipment capabilities to China due to high cost in EU because of the war.
China's attractiveness to foreign enterprises has strengthened over the past decade as a result of wider market opening and an improving business environment, and it will continue to serve as the land of opportunity in a world beset by uncertainty and volatility.
German chemical giant BASF recently put into operation the first batch of plants of its Verbund site in Zhanjiang, South China's Guangdong Province. The site, with a total investment of 10 billion euros ($10 billion), will be the largest single investment by a German enterprise in China.
Leading global pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca announced plans to set up the regional headquarters of AstraZeneca China in Qingdao, East China's Shandong Province.
Vigorous efforts by multinationals this year to expand their presence in China's markets further indicate that the country remains a preferred investment destination. After reaching a record high in 2021, foreign direct investment into the Chinese mainland, in actual use, went up 20.2 percent year-on-year to $138.41 billion in the first eight months.
Then if you check how India government treat Ford, Carrefour, Amazon, POSCO, Vodafon, Tiktok, Xiaomi, Vivo ...; You will know which is more friendly to forgein firms between India and China, the trade data and manufacutre GDP speak a lot! BTW, the POSCO and Vodafon cases were popular joke about India in our cyber.
I personally communicate with my India partner every week, sometimes i can feell this kind of mindset with some reasons.
All due respect, i have to say after 200 yrs of colony history, Indian is quite cautious even suspicious on any forgein firms to earn profit in India. It's kind of PTSD, but it's really bad for India become a good manufacture and investment destination. I hope India would out it out from such kind mindset, find his own path to become more developed.
