capitalismo globalizado
aplaudiram a entrada da China na
OMC há bem poucos anos.
Queriam assim assegurar-se que
o gigante asiático iria completar a
sua transição do capitalismo de
estado e burocrático para o
capitalismo liberal, oferecendo
um «El Dorado» para o
investimento dos capitalistas
europeus e norte americanos,
ansiosos por deslocalizarem as
fábricas para um local onde não
houvesse perigo de contestação
operária (sob a férrea mão do
partido “comunista” da China),
onde os salários de um mês
fossem inferiores aos de um dia
nos países ocidentais e dez ou
mais horas diárias de trabalho,
como existiu aqui no século XIX.
Claro que eles sabiam que a
contrapartida era deixar a China
exportar livremente os seus
produtos, sendo portanto 
totalmente falsa a sua 4XHUHP QRV YHQGHU R ³VLP´ DR ³WUDWDGR FRQVWLWXFLRQDO´ XVDQGR WpFQLFDV GLUHFWDPHQWH LQVSLUDGDV HP
