How the West Built China’s Superpower | The Trade Deal That Changed the World

Описание: In the late 20th century, the West believed it was opening China to free markets and prosperity. What it didn’t realize was that it was also reshaping the global balance of power.
How the West Built China’s Superpower explores the pivotal trade deals, corporate decisions, and political compromises that accelerated China’s rise. From technology transfers and manufacturing outsourcing to the promises of cheap labor and massive consumer markets, this video uncovers how global capitalism unintentionally fueled a new superpower.
Was China’s rise inevitable—or was it engineered by Western ambition and short-term profit?
Through cinematic storytelling and historical analysis, we uncover:
Why Western companies moved production to China
How trade agreements changed the global economy
The hidden cost of outsourcing technology and manufacturing
How China transformed from a struggling economy into an industrial giant
This is not just China’s story — it’s the story of a world that rewrote its own future.
